Living in a gated community

TORONTO, Jan. 25 /CNW/ - "The Vivat Group, a member organization that builds communities for gays and lesbians, announced today Canada's first condominium development specifically conceived and built for gays, lesbians and their friends. The building, to be called The Bohemian, will be built at 288 King Street East, in the heart of Toronto's antique and furniture district.

"The announcement was made at Vivat's first sales meeting, where many of its members heard the details of the proposed development. Today's meeting was the first of many to take place over the next few weeks.

"'What makes the Bohemian unique will be the residents that live there. It will be a place that reflects our members' interests and lifestyles, without compromise,' said Gordon Davies, President, The Vivat Group. 'Each resident will know they are a part of a community that cares about them and supports them.'" (snip)

ADDENDUM Feedback: "I like how the release fails to specify how a G & L condo would be different than an ordinary one. What do they plan? Built-in glory holes in the bathrooms? Custom slings in the bedroom? An exercise room with no equipment but enhanced sauna?"

Yer Oples scribe thinks that, with our new Tory government (and a number of bigots elected), the last thing homos should be doing is offering to hide ourselves away from the mainstream.
