Come on!!! Of course we need gay neighborhoods! And I obviously need to stop critiquing the New York Times. But when I read about "Local institutions like Cliff’s Variety, a hardware store selling feathered boas (year-round)..." - I think, all this homoimprovement on the inside of the house would be useless if I didn't feel great about where the house is: the URBAN lesbian-ville USA - that's Park Slope, Brooklyn, not Northampton Mass. I know there are lesbians, gays, etc. living all over the place in communities that aren't particularly gay, or even gay friendly, and that there's lots to be said for a world outside of New York City. For starters, there's a much better possibility of being able to afford a great house or space to build one, like this fabulous Catawba House which is being built by a couple of lesbian architects in southwest Virginia!
