I heard my best homophobia story the other day.  A friend of mine who
is stationed in Arizona went to San Francisco with his roommate to go
to a wedding in San Jose.  They stayed at a friend of theirs who was
stationed in SF.  As an aside, the roommate was really freaked out
about being in San Francisco.  Ed said he was looking around every
corner terrified that he was going to run into a gay man.  But the best
story was one the woman they stayed with told.  She said she knew a
Captain stationed in the Presidio (the big military base in SF) (for
nonmilitary folks, a captain is supposed to have had a college
education or the equiv), who had spent six years in the Presidio and
never left for fear of running into (gasp!) a homosexual.  People like
that should be committed.

Oh to see the smiles in the Castro during Fleet Week. :-)
