Oh To Be LGBT in SD

Today we're going to focus on LGBT news in San Diego.

The UT just realized we live in lots of different neighborhoods. Apparently it was a bit of a shock to find gay people outside Hillcrest.

The government didn't try to count the number of gay and lesbian couples in the 1990 census, making it impossible to officially track neighborhood increases in the gay and lesbian population. But longtime residents say there's no question that more gays and lesbians are moving to North Park and University Heights.

What if the government did start trying to count the number of LGBT couples?

A little older news, but oh so relevant, federal judges ruled that bigotry is not acceptable. Well, kinda.

They did rule that the Poway school district was within it's rights to pull a student out of class who wore a shirt that said “I Will Not Accept What God Has Condemned” on one side and “Homosexuality is Shameful, Romans 1:27” on the other. This on the "Day of Silence". That's just in really bad taste.
