Chueca also has the best stores of the city, cute coffee shops, and bars with great music. So, maybe that could be the reason why Jake hangs out in LA's gayest neighborhood, though I don't know if that where the best restaurants or bars are in LA.

Good point. Very good point. By the way, you know that Gael Garcia Bernal moved into our neighborhood , and has been seen a lot in West Hollywood frequenting gay coffee shops near Crescent and Santa Monica Blvd? So has Eduardo Verastegui. But it doesn't mean they're gay...just totally cool. Hey, once I saw Brad Pitt at an exclusive boy party in Laurel Canyon, with a male date. But a mutual friend who works with Pitt all the time says that Brad just loves his gay fan base. Because of that I am more certain that Brad is straight because he's so comfortable in his skin that he could do something like that.

True, that. And it just belies my contention that the more homophobic one is, the less secure he (or she) is in his own sexuality.
My husband hangs out with me in Wilton Manors down here and likes it for all the same reasons I do. He doesn't wear a wedding ring - never has - he doesn't wear a watch or any other jewelry of any kind. It was a point of contention between us for a while, but I finally decided I'd rather be married to a guy who doesn't wear a ring but acts married than one who does but doesn't. ANYway, because he doesn't wear a ring and is an airline pilot (and kind of a hottie in his own right :)), he has been propositioned several times by flight attendants. Male and female. He told the other day that last month, a male flight attendant on one of his flights to Rio asked him if he wanted to go dancing with him after they landed. He said, "I'd be glad to go check out the club with you, but I'm straight. And married." He goes, "Oh, honey. What a waste." :o (Too bad he didn't use Robert Preston's answer in "Victor/Victoria" to that one.) I always appreciate that not only is he comfortable telling me these stories (in fact, I think he likes to because it inflates his own ego), he is flattered when this kind of thing happens and is respectful in his answers. Sad thing is he also tells me that many of the pilots are some of the biggest homophobes he's ever come across. No big surprise - ex-military, raised and regimented (with all due respect to the military, believe me) and all that. Several times he's had to say something to a captain spewing the f-word. His favorite response to that is "Uh, I think they prefer 'gay guy'." That way it doesn't get him into a confrontation with a guy who is basically his boss for the month, but it keeps him from saying it again.

OK, Barb, I'll bite. ??? I saw the movie about 30 years ago and lack your encyclopediac memory for films!
By the way, I like your husband's response to the captain.

When Lesley Ann Warren's character comes on to him and he says, "I'm gay." She goes, "What a waste." He replies, "I assure you, nothing is wasted." (I have to say I actually really like her character in that movie. She's a ditz, but she's open-minded and fun. I wouldn't mind having a few cocktails and discussing men with her.)
And I do, too. My boy's wicked smart. ;D

Whew! Barb, I'm glad you elaborated! For a minute there you had me worried that you meant Preston's other great line from V/V:
"There is nothing more inconvenient than an old queen with a headcold."
;) ;D
