I have had both extremes of peoples opinions about Gays and CDs. I worked with an all female staff in a previous job, but one of the morning cleaners was an openly gay guy and he did a drag performance at weekends. All the women loved him and I really liked him too (he looked great dressed by the way). Then I spent a summer season working at my local airport, out on the ramp handling baggage and cargo. What a contrast, there everyone was trying to 'out macho' each other. Anyone who wasn't 'normal' ie, gays. lesbians, trans people, were the lowest form of life, one guy even opined that they should be' disposed of'. Boy was I glad to get out of there.
