Identify crisis: as gays move in, some fear loss of the area's character

http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2007/02/25/MNG2DOATDK1.DTL

But up and down the enclave that has been a grassroots community for Focus on the Family, an organization of Christian evangelicals, for more than three decades, homosexuals are moving in. They have come to enjoy some of the same amenities that have attracted the neighborhood's many straight residents: charming houses, convenient public transportation, safe streets and nice weather.

But some heterosexual residents of the neighborhood are worried that the culture, history, and moral values of their neighborhood could be lost in the process, and they have started a campaign to preserve its character. The city, meanwhile, is spending $100,000 on a plan aimed at keeping the area's ties to Focus on the Family intact.

Homosexuals "are welcome as long as they understand this is our community," said Adam Light, a leader of the Colorado Conservative Coalition, a group formed eight months ago to address the shifts in the neighborhood in recent years.

“Having a specific neighborhood politicians can point to, can go to and shake hands or kiss babies, has really solidified the conservative vote, our political muscle,” said longtime community activist Ida Hayder at a forum in November.

"are welcome as long as they understand this is our community,"

hmm not sure about where you live but you can't own a community here, anyone who is anyone can live anywhere they wish to, if they can afford it lol.

Your title is misleading. Other than that "So?" is the only thought that really comes to mind.

"Identity crisis: as STRAIGHTS move in, some fear loss of the area's character."

Quit your b*tching. It was a stupid article, you have a stupid response.

His point is weak, but I get it....

Homosexuals should cut that shit out....."heterosexuals moving in our community"

I guess that means our parents shouldn't visit us then 🙄

I refuse to support hypocrisy of any sort. Whether it be from Christian Conservative freaks, or my gay-happy-homo orgy butt buddies....

That article is fkn retarted, and is throwing back what Conservatives have thrown at us....two wrongs do not make a right.

Did these fearful homos ever figure that maybe the heterosexuals who move in, have no problem with homosexuals ? IF they did maybe they wouldn't move in....

No, you don't understand. What was his point in changing the quotes to mislead the reader?

I think Feceman is under the assumption that while we Liberals will be angered over the thought of Conservative Christians not welcoming Homosexual residents into thier community, we wouldn't care if Homosexuals didn't welcome Heterosexuals into their's.

I think it was a desparate attempt to get us to see the hypocrisy of this article, so he switched the text around so we can have a nostalgic reminder of the hypocrisy that you and I detest.

He didn't have to do that....I see the hypocristy of the two of Castro, and I do not condone it.

*Note to Feceman*- just because I am bisexual does not mean I will defend another bisexual/homosexual if I feel they did something wrong.

That was idiotic though. I am sure most people read the quotes as what he saw as important and commented on that without further reading that long ass text (I did). So basically we thought it was about gays not being too welcome in a community. Now the thing is if he had posted the correct quotes there would have been a similar reaction...at least on my part. So this whole set up fails immensely.

I found that rather annoying actually.

So did I...which was why I called it a "desperate attempt"

Its another pathetic attempt by the majority to misconstrue strengthening a minority as anti-equality or reverse discrimination.

True that, true that....it's like when white people complain about racism 🙄

Right, because we all know that straight white people can't be discriminated against. 😛

They are hardly ever 🙄

"I'm not anti-black, I'm just pro-white"

Whatever "positions" you choose to engage in are your own affair, Urizen. 😄

droolio NOW YOU'RE TALKN MY LANGUAGE

I think the gays need to shut up, and I don't think the city should shell out a dime to preserve the neighborhood's gay culture.
