I grew up in San Francisco - in the Castro, with a gay dad and therefore as a teen became quite accustomed to the flamboyounce that was around for Pride, Halloween & the various gay street fairs ... I have always been glad that the more extreme edges are a part of our community - whether its drag or leather or what not. I think for me, if my son just grows up seeing some of this in the same way that he sees Boston Sporting Fanatics for example he will just know that its yet another way that some folks choose to express themselves.
