#1 They might even learn that gay people walk and dress a lot like them.

Not on Castro Street they don't. I remember we drove through there - probably 20 years ago and it was a full on freak show even then. I find it hard to believe that tour busses coming through is new. It must just be the stopping that is new.

And since when doess someone who puts on a giant blonde wig with polkadotted bows, fishnet stocking and tight black spandex with glittering platform shoes get offended because people stare? Disclaimer - I'm not saying all gay people dress this way - but they DO dress like that on Castro St.
