The gay ghetto

Imagine if a straight person said this:

Heterosexuals “are welcome as long as they understand this is our community,” said Adam Light, a leader in the Castro Coalition, a group formed eight months ago to address the shifts in the neighborhood in recent years.

Light is bothered that more and more straights are moving into San Francisco’s gay mecca, the Castro district. I view the hetero influx as a positive development reflective of changing attitudes. But Light apparently considers straight people a threat.

Is isolation now preferable to inegreation?
