this very high profile case from 3 years ago was not a hate crime but a grim reminder to be wary of the intentions of people you befriend

They're really doing a number on this place top to bottom. Notice how they've tied back the rainbow flags so as not to get paint on them. My guess is it will remain a gay bar.

It's really important that a gay presecence remain on Yonge. This would indeed be good news.

Why? For historical reasons?

not so sure if it matters that they are on yonge street so much as that they are open
like the village and area or not, i think it's important that it not only survives but thrives, so the more places that open or remain open the better

Harley was my neighbour and I was sad afterwards I didn't get to know him better.
Fortunately, there are simple steps to take to drastically reduce the chances of somethign going wrong from meeting someone, namely stick to meeting in public until you can be sure of someone's motives.
As for Alibi, I saw someone dressed in work clothes pop their head out as I walked past around 10pm last night. Perhaps they're pulling some all-nighters to get things done in time for a looming deadline?

Yes, because it's our original gay village (although a more closetted one in its heyday). Also, because it's Toronto's main street and I think its important that the GLBT community be represented on our main drag.

As I age gracefully like a fine wine I become less interested in maintaining such links to the past, though I understand their appeal. So much changes, so much is impermanent, it seems more fruitful to let things go and concentrate on what is and what will be . I think it ties in with wise old jaborandi's earlier comment about not caring what people think of you.

Oh, he'll be back.
Anyone hitting up the Halloweek festivities tomorrow night? Church st. is always a great time on Halloween.

Unfortunately my costume is way too skimpy to be worn outdoors. Actually, that seems to happen every year. But isn't that what gay hallowe'en is all about?
