In the U.S. San Francisco has the greatest number of gays per capita than any other city. What city is second? Minneapolis. Since I don't like parades of any kind, I did not go downtown on Saturday. I'm sure it was a visual event, if on a much smaller scale than Paris!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-41376462582627274172008-06-30T22:49:00.000+02:002008-06-30T22:49:00.000+02:00Great shot...

But I think it must be a big lack for several homosexual couples not to be allowed to adopt children. Actually, if I had been in this situation, that would have caused to me a real problem. So I can understand the fight for more rights they are leading. <BR/>I am not convinced by the opponents of the legalization of adoption for same sex partners (but also not very versed into that matter, I confess). <BR/><BR/>Eric, how did you feel in this party?;)<BR/>I am feeling a bit far from all this frenzy and the video is pretty daring!!!
