My own conclusions are based on my experiences, having spent much of the last 20 years living around, working out of, having my children under the provisions of Massachusetts School Choice law educated in the schools (I drove them 40 miles round trip 180 days a year to attend school), of arguably per capita the "Queerest" community in the world Provincetown MA. I have gay relatives, gay employees, I regularly deal with gay civic leaders, politicians and bureaucrats, gay business owners, gay customers, and gay citizens and visitors. I’m personally acquainted with probably 2-300 gay people there and have on thousands of occasions engaged in friendly, frank and respectful discussions with them on straight and gay “issues” both micro and macro.

I have gay relatives who have co-habitated for now almost 50 years who do not support “gay marriage” and at the other end of the spectrum I spent a good portion of a couple years in ideological warfare thwarting access to children and the inculcation of the gay agenda into the school curriculum by a noted “Queer Rights Activist, his words” recently convicted and sentenced to federal prison pedophile, named of John Perry Ryan.
