I read a reference to the PRIDE house in some news article recently that referred to it as the "gay house" which made me think of segregation... I understand the idea of the house - and it perhaps is a good idea (especially to promote marketing initiatives for other gay community events like winterpride and pride week)... but whoever called it a "gay house" in the media should be fired.
