UGH! This sux!

I feel very fortunate that I am a butch queer living where I do.. about 20 minutes from SF. The lesbian, B-F, Trans, Gay communities are very representative of older folks (guess middle-aged on up is a better way to put it).

I believe you are having this problem where you live and wish it wasn't so.
