In New York, you can kind of tell the gay men for the most part, or
at least I thought. Many are stereotypical could-be-a-Will-and-Grace
cast member type. In San Francisco, guys who look like they are
lumberjacks will suddenly burst out into show tunes and I kept
thinking, "Wait, he's gay?"
 Anything goes in San Francisco, from dreadlocks and piercings to
chaps and cowboy hats. Even though I don't think I would partake in
many of the looks, it was refreshing to not walk into a bar with a
multitude of cookie cutter people in black outfits with matching
blonde highlights and knee-high boots. Or the alternative, which
also happens in New York in some of the downtown and Williamsburg
crowd who try too hard to be counter-culture that they actually all
look like each other.
I Feel the Need for Speed
While it seemed by the end of the trip that I felt New York City
should fall off the face of the earth, I was missing it.
Decisive people who jaywalk, use escalators as a way to keep up the
stairs faster as they run, and a little bit of crappy weather that
supports some melancholic music. I wonder if all that freedom and
acceptance makes people not crave more out of life which definitely
is the case in New York where everyone is always looking for the
next adventure. I just wonder if it would be very easy to get stuck
there like a hippie who is still fighting a war they don't even
realize is over.
So for now I am still a New Yorker who receives her gay worship in
the West Village, but I definitely think San Francisco may get a
shot in the future!
