我喜歡西雅圖的gay community.
[Music: Lady Gaga_Just Dance]
這裡的同志社區,有完整的餐飲、消費、住宅及夜生活。更重要的是,西雅圖的同志懂得互助,懂得禮貌、互信及平常心。
在幾個大的節日裡,商人、Bar總是會找來頗具盛名的DJ來辦大型舞會,可支配所得極高的同志,總是能不眨眼買下門票,熱舞、狂歡及買醉。令人敬佩的事,西雅圖兩個比較大的同志團體LIFELONG (AIDS Alliance), Gay City Health Project,更能團結起來,找DJ辦活動萬聖節化裝舞會收門票、辦募款遊行等,藉此募得公益款項。
看看Gay City 的活動清單,每個月都是滿滿的,有教育性、健康取向也有好玩的PARTY,用這樣的開心態度,經營非營利組織,實在太酷了。
