Hi john,
Cross-dressing is a form of gender expression and identity - transgender. Gay means you are attracted to the same sex. Being gay doesn't mean you cross dress (a la Randy Price) and some cross-dressers aren't even gay.Yesterdays Pride celebration was for the GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender) community. In that the acronym I like to throw in an "A" for our straight Allies who provide a tremendous amount of support and are proud to stand alongside the GLBT.
Sexuality is complicated. Thank you for your honest inquiry.

ReplyHe could have re-planted a mature forest back there by now with the cost he must be losing from the station just sitting there.
Re-plant and move on.

ReplyGood article. A "wine and cheese" community, so true. I don't see what sort of commercial development could go there. Do we really need another strip mall, Dunkin' Donuts or a CVS?
