I'm not sure what statement you are referring to. I also know that my television reference may seem a bit ridiculous, but I'm just trying to point out that it reflects reality, and by all means I don't mean that in a general way. In my workplace there are gays, lesbians, straight folks, and it just is not an issue at all. We all work together and hangout together and don't focus on each other's sexual identity, just as the show, The Wire doesn't either. The show emulates that aspect. Sorry if I'm totally misunderstanding you, I just was a bit offended when you laughed at me. Also, I think fiction can greatly reflect reality. Have you seen the show?

no I have not seen the show, and yes we do tlerate each other - but it can still be a big issue in real life.

I totally agree. I'm not saying the US is completely tolerant of homosexuality, but many parts of it are. Some people here are stating that the United States is homophobic in general which totally is not true. Many parts of it are, and many parts of it aren't. I just can't stand it when someone comes to the US for a few weeks and thinks they have it all figured out, and by all means I am not referring to you.

^^.. not only that ..
if you were to openly admit you were homosexual, you Will be disowned if not killed by your family and friends.. to save them from embarrassment.

Being Chinese-American, I have known many people of minority who are gay and they never seemed to have a problem coming out. It just depends on the person and the setting they are presented with.

All I know is that there is this gay black gangster in HBO's, The Wire, and he is the most bad ass villian on television.

He's a badass villain with a heart of gold, which is compelmented by his stylized Prada handbag.
