One of my favorite lines from Six Feet Under (and there are many) is this:
Nate: "Does this party seem a little weird to you?"
David: "On a scale of 1 to 10? 90."
I'd give San Francisco a 90 out of 10 for "cities in which you can be comfortably gay."
Manhattan gets an 8.
Monrovia is hovering around 2.5.
It is illegal to be gay in Liberia, yet I'm the only one dumbstruck and scratching her head when grown men on a walk hold hands, happy as clams.
I suspect this cultural peculiarity is a loophole to allow everyone a little undercover PDA without granting actual, you know, rights.
(My buddy Robbie nails it, here: http://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2012/03/the-obama-administrations-bold-but-risky-plan-to-make-africa-gay-friendly/254086/)
