Do homosexuals contribute to the hipster population more than heterosexual?

[mattpegher]

Well I guess that if Hipster's can be defined as anyone that bucks the trend/normal/accepted, then homosexuality would be a part of nonconformity. However, the vast majority of the homosexual population in my practice are not your flamboyant nonconformists. Their sexual preference is not such because of a need to be nonconformist, nor does it require them to be nonconformist in other aspects of their lives.
In my experience with nonconformist youth, esp in the NYC area, preference is subjugated by a need to rebel. A very immature position IMHO.

Gays tend to be a positive factor within communities. I don't know about hipsters (sounds 70's to me, flower power and tie dye ?), but gays often take a run down area of town, like the warehouse district, and spruce the area up making it very trendy and popular. Nice bars, shops, cafe's, where once were vacant and run down warehouses.

Then more often than not, those damn straights along with the blessing of the local city council, move in and take over the once trendy gay area.

Soon thereafter, you have a bunch of sports bars taking over with a bunch of drunks walking the streets. High crime, high police presents, trash and filth where once was a clean trendy gathering area of town.
So you go from rundown vacant warehouses, to trendy shops, bars and cafe's, then back to scum, high crime, filth and drunks.
And that is the fuckin truth!!!
