Eguality and Exclusivity - Can They Coexist? While in Puerto Vallarta I read the local publications, catching up on what was going on. The city has always been an international haven for gays and has a very large permanent gay population. Although there is no such thing as gay marriage in Mexico they are otherwise acknowledged and accepted. I can not recall any incidents of gays being unwelcome anywhere in the city. Sharing housing with 3 others, 2 of whom were a gay couple I had more insight and contact into the community than most. There was an article in the most recent publication written by a local leader of the gay community calling an “emergency meeting” to deal with the issue of “taking back” the gay night clubs. It seems, at least according to the author, too many straight people now go to gay clubs and the gays want their exclusive clubs back. I gave this considerable thought. While civil rights are different in other countries aren’t the movements about equality and all that comes with it? At least I always thought so. Anyone have any thoughts on how equality and exclusivity can coexist? Spiritwoman ^i^ |

I, too, am a big supporter of gay male rights. Leaves more for me.

First off, I have nothing against gays, but if they want the straights out of their clubs, then maybe they should consider staying out of the "straight's" businesses. I see this as a chance for some "straight" person to sue them for being prejudice, after all, some gays are going into Christian businesses and churches demanding they bake them cakes, set floral arrangements and perform the wedding ceremony for them. They want fairness? It should work both ways!

Your blog post reminded me of something that always bothered me, Spirit. There is Miss America pageant that is open to all races. Yet there is also Miss Black America. I always wondered why the latter was allowed to discriminate against white women. If there was a Miss White America, wouldn't people complain? I am saying this as someone who DOES believe that ALL races should be treated equally. This is not said to offend anyone. ALL American women should be able to compete in Miss America and there shouldn't be any Miss Black America or any other discriminatory one. Elaine Shuel
