Lots of gay people everywhere. Including you're home town Mr. Nochowder. It just seems like there are more gays because they don't need to hide what they are. San Francisco, Northern California in general, is just very liberal. People out here really don't care where you're from, what you're sexuality is, or what you're into. As long as your'e not a pedophile that is. We leave that to the Catholic church.
