The Viillage could build a beautiful secure wrought iron fence with a padlocked gate like Gramercy Park in Manhattan with keys available only for registered residents - but an anti-Marxist ( or elitist ) concept like this would cause an uproar among the old school socialists living in the...

It's based on Dundas Square model but with no seating - they don't want to encourage vagrants -

It's only open for the summer - short term lease -

Looks good. But is there a safe space for women and children only?

The park is finished now. It's a conceptual installation piece designed to remind the gays of the temporal nature of existence.

Do you think values of friendliness and charisma lead to crime and dirt?

At some point - probably sooner than later - there is going to be a backlash to the digital social environment - how it manifests is the question of the day -

While we're on the topic of the Gays in the digital age -- as opposed to The Village -- see this thoughtful article from Huff. Is discrimination on Grindr killing gay sex? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mathew-rodriguez/is-discrimination-on-grindr-killing-gay-sex_b_4558989.html

I don't mean to be ironic, but this video from YouTube hits the nail on the head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7dLU6fk9QY

If you want to get along with the gays ( or anyone for that matter ) in Toronto, don't speak to them. And if, for whatever reason you're are called upon to speak, say as little as possible and speak only in the most general of terms. Vague is good. Silence is better. Pretend you are mute...

Why go out to a club, when you can stay home and tweet the gays? This is, after-all, Toronto. The people, are not exactly known for their warmth, approachability or charisma.

Do Queers go to Buddies or is Buddies just for the Young Gays?

The Gays will buy made in the United States music, but get them on the topic of the United States of America and look out. You'd think you were in the Kremlin listening to Yladimir Putin, Olivia Chow and Fidel Castro opine.

The concept is to make Church Street look like the Main Street in a small cash strapped rust belt college town like Kitchener - mission accomplished -

The board of World Pride are all lobbyists, lawyers and civil servants. Don't expect anything new. Expect more of the same.

It's nice Steve Grand is coming. But he's not really a popular artist. Melissa Etheridge, Crystal Waters and Deborah Cox are all artists from another era. Whatever star power they had, remains in the distant past. It's good to provide employment for these former stars, but, the notion is...

Other than as a fantasy character, I can't see the gays going for Steve Grand because A) His song is called All American Boy and most Toronto gays are adamantly anti-anything American and B) It's country music, a genre the gay hegemony snubs.

On a happier note, I bought some pizza from Brooklyn. It's AWESOME. A dollar a slice this week with profits donated to a charity. Go.

Out of town Gays visiting for World Pride, can go to Pizza Pizza, Woody's, Cruise and Tangos, Flash - a strip club - Black Eagle and Fly. That should keep them busy for an extra week. And if the steam baths are still around, they could visit them too! Sounds like a compelling week. Can't...
