An interesting article in Salon today talks about a movement to create a "gay business district," a la Chelsea or the Castro, in Spokane, Washington.
Conservatives, naturally, are none too thrilled with the proposal. Evangelical groups have distributed antigay literature to city officials claiming that "gays will bring disease and mental illnesses into Spokane."
Penny Lancaster, leader of Community Impact Spokane, has said the city risks becoming a "gay Mecca."
Penny darling, I think I speak for gays the world over when I say you don't have a thing to worry about.
