Good article...although my experience has been slightly different. I've aways had supportive straight friends and the majority of my friends still is straight - and we have so much in common, be it certain music, freestyle sports, offbeat humor...I did and do not always feel welcome in some gay crowds because of a lack of shared interests and hobbies. Nevertheless, I'm proud of who I am and will continue to fight for gay acceptance - but also for acceptance within the community.
