At Tulsa mosque, criticizing Islamic terrorists...

I went to New Orleans a few years back with a couple guys and a couple gals.  One of the guys wouldn't go near anything that resembled a gay locale, the other guy was literally afraid of clowns, including mimes.  It was a phobia festival.

Innocents abroad, huh?

I was born in New Orleans (left there as a child), visited every summer and on holidays, even went back there to live and go to college (and was there over this past Memorial Day weekend). I love everything about the city.

A suggestion to you: don't just hang out in the Quarter, but also go where we locals go if you want to take in the full experience. There's more to it than just what you read about in a tourist handbook.

I need to go back sometime soon.  We spent entirely too much time in the French Quarter.   Didn't see enough of the neighborhoods, swamps, plantations.  I don't think I'd spend much time in the Quarter if I went back.

And I hope to see you there.

Comparing homosexuals to pedophiles.. That's old school homophobia man, got anything better?

I am not comparing anything,I am just stating what people find offensive and trying to put it into perspective.

Well, it's offensive all right, regardless of the perspective.
