jpagani, it was obvious that you were a straight woman, but these bigots think that anyone who is an ally in the pursuit of gay equality must also be gay. They can't think beyond their own narrow views. I hope you and your husband are both well, and thank you for your service.
leftofstr8, I'm one of the straight people who counts you among my friends (if I'm correct in my guess as to who you are, and I think I am). Don't let the words of exactly two clearly mentally unstable people get to you. They might be listening to each other, but no one else is listening to them.

Does that sound familiar, Tomcat? It should. You wrote it on June 21. You've had lots of access to the internet out there while fighting terrorists, haven't you? Your Iraq lie is an unforgiveably offensive affront to the many men and women who are REALLY serving.
Great post, cityguy, thanks for bringing new discussion to the table. The Stonewall Center will benefit the entire community.
leftofst8, did you also notice from his comments that Tomcat claimed that he was leaving to serve in Iraq? Add pathological liar to that list of personality disorders.
The Stonewall Center has support from many in the community.
Madeithappen, It's easy to bash Youngstown, and those who moved away seem particularly fond of this past time. However, what you all seem to forget is that there are young people who decided to stay and raise our children near grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. There is nothing that would make you move back here? There is nothing that would make me take my children away from their grandparents and cousins.
The job market is tough, locally, but there are many of us who are making a decent living in our chosen fields, and we're surrounded by a support system of family and friends.
As for the unhappy people, you'll get no argument from me there, but Youngstown is hardly a standout in this regard. Many people are unhappy these days, probably especially those who feel compelled to post elitist comments about escaping Youngstown.
The downtown luxury apartments are a forward-thinking idea. As I said before, I applaud the move. However, the units do seem somewhat overpriced. All of this is still in the planning stages, and perhaps adjustments will be made.
Thanks for the map, Mike. I'm downtown all of the time, day and night, and I feel safer there than at many places in the suburbs, for example, the Southern Park Mall. It seems that the people who are afraid of the downtown area haven't likely set foot in it in 20 or so years. These apartments are another step forward, and I for one applaud it.

undead, I'm right with you.

A "slippery slope" argument is a logical fallacy.

leftofst8, oh, now I know who you are (I actually thought you were someone else)! Hello, friend!
midtown, please keep going. I guess I could say that Jesus selected you to show us the path.

I think rabid intolerance we're seeing here shows how great the need is for the Stonewall center.
