To each his own. Doesn't appear anyone is going to convince you otherwise. Derek

Great choices we have. Friday, March 29, 2002; 12:06 a.m. EST Gore Gave Gay Fetish Center $500,000 When he was running for president, Vice President Al Gore personally delivered a $500,000 government check to a San Francisco gay and transgender center that sponsors events such as the "Queer Youth-A-Palooza, a "Drag King Junior Contest" and a "Leather Pride Reception." Questioned by Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly on Thursday, gay activist Jeff Sheehy said that the "Queer Youth-A-Palooza" was "kind of like a prom event" with "a bunch of queer kids." He further explained that the "Drag King Junior" contest featured "girls dressing up like Elvis Presley." But Sheehy seemed at a loss for words when it came to the center's "Leather Pride Reception," telling O'Reilly, "Well, the leather community has these events - ah, um - you know, I'm not a leather person." When asked to define the term "leather person," Sheehy replied, "That's a good question.... I think that they hit each other a bit with leather." The center's $7 million cost is mostly paid for by state and local taxes. But in 2000, the Clinton administration approved a $500,000 grant, which Sheehy defended by invoking the former veep's participation. "I'm not a big defender of the $500,000 donation myself - I mean, Al Gore dropped it off," he told O'Reilly. "I was a big Bill Bradley supporter. And right before the California primary.... Al Gore dropped the check off when we had the groundbreaking."
