Most people do; it's a natural reaction if you're not a member of the community. Hell, I'm still a little uneasy when I go into a gay bar myself, as I'm not really a part of the scene.

This thread however, has given me some really useful, insightful information that has definitely helped me to come to a greater acceptance of the topic.

So, thanks a bunch, Gilda.
You're welcome. Thanks for the kind comment.
