Yes, Surreal, it probably will get a lot better within the next ten years. There's still a VAST amount of closet cases that need to take the chance and come out. I probably know more closet dudes here than gay dudes. It's wild, also a very uncommon thing I have never come across in my travels of Canada btw.

Oh okay, that is interesting! Perhaps it's just an American thing?
California has a lot of mormons, vehemently homophobic mormons... mormon lobbyists are responsible for the passage of Proposition 8 which is what re-illegalized gay marriage in the state. The first civil right to be taken away from a population in the developed world since Kristallnacht.
