Slate Magazine gay prescription for Detroit.

313, what makes you say that gay people here are treated like second class citizens? I am not aware of large waves of gay bashings here. We are able to get jobs and vote and buy property.

If you are referring to gay marriage/adoption rights, that fails to explain why places like New York and Massachusetts and California that have legal gay marriage were gay meccas, with very vibrant gay communities when their laws were just like ours, just a few years ago [[or in California's case, earlier this year).

If life were so bad here for gay people, I assure you, the thousands of happy & healthy homosexuals in Metro Detroit would not be here!

Michigan is very gay friendly. The whole "Michissippi" is more of an act by a few people here to throw the whole state of Michigan down the toilet and bitch about how much it sucks and that they are going to get out of the "cesspool".
