#3 They're taking that whole "City of Brotherly Love" thing a little too literally if you ask me.

#4 Yeah, it used to be a private matter; now we're bombarded with this exhibitionistic crap 24/7.

#5 "gayborhood" It sounds like the bad old days of red-lined communities where only the right kind of White people could buy houses.

#6 If you choose to you can live your life alone
Some people choose the city
Some others choose the good old family home
I like living easy without family ties
Till the whippoorwill of freedom zapped me
Right between the eyes

`Cause I live and breathe this Philadelphia freedom
From the day that I was born I've waved the flag
Philadelphia freedom took me knee-high to a man
Yeah gave me peace of mind my daddy never had

From the 1975 Elton John song Philadelphia Freedom, written in honor of Billie Jean King's tennis team, the Philadelphia Freedoms.

#10 Singing "Somewhere Over the Rainbow,"

C'mon, guys. Don't you think that's reinforcing some stereotypes?

#13 Will the other neighborhoods be getting "Straight" signs?

No. But if you are a straight guy walking around in the gayborhood you can wear a sign so that you'll be left alone. The sign consists of 12" piece of duct tape placed horizontally across your butt.

Either I was unclear, or you missed the point, whatever your sexual orentation is, I DON'T CARE.
Keep it private. Not Broadcast it on the streets.

Clear now?
