Actually, people in places other than San Francisco do notice the
"signals of homosexuals".  While I was working as a field engineer
for Burroughs Corp. I was sent to a class in Los Angeles and found
out upon my return that one of my instructors had called my boss
in San Francisco to complain about my earing.  And I even wear it
in the left ear!

To a great extent, I feel that in the current and continuing fight
for human rights for gay people, it is important for all of us to
come out as much as is necessary to get the point across that we are
everywhere, we are not going to go away, and we are as "normal" (oh
I hate that word applied to human beings) as everybody else.  Of
course, if the fight for "gay rights" is lost, it will make things
that much easier for the "authorities" to round us up and put us in
the ovens...

But, I can really only find positive hopes for the future... the
alternatives are to awful to consider.
