Only in San Francisco,"Gay leaders in the Castro and other gay neighborhoods around the country fear their enclaves are losing their distinct identities.
These areas are slowly being altered by an influx of heterosexual couples, the forces of gentrification, and growing confidence among gays that they can live pretty much wherever they want nowadays and do not need the security of being in a "gay ghetto."
"When I see a stroller now, I see it as someone who evicted a person with AIDS, right or wrong," said longtime community leader Brian Basinger, president of the Harvey Milk Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transsexual Democratic Club."
"No one is suggesting that the Castro has been overrun by heterosexuals just yet."
Just yet????? I can hear the screams all the way down here in So. Cal,"You damn heterosexuals, damn you all, get's out of my Ghetto, you be overrunnin' it!!!!!" Sexuality "racists"!!!!
"Community activists worry that "gayborhoods" are losing their relevance as gays win legal rights and greater social acceptance."
