I would say it is very LGBT friendly, since there are rainbow flags, and even the less popular "leather pride" flag sailing on my block without a snicker. Okay, maybe a chuckle.
I don't know about an organization, though.

Depends on how formal you want to go. If you just want to get a group of people together every few weeks to discuss LGBT stuff that's one thing.
If you want to get a group together in order to raise funds, throw LGBT events, etc., you would need to find a group of individuals, selected a Board of Directors, raise capital, form an LLC, etc. We recently did that with RWCW (River Wards Crime Watch).
Either way I'm game.

I'm a complicated man. No one understands me but my woman.
It was my interpretation that he was suggesting that most married (or otherwise in a committed relationship) men spend one quarter of their time (ie. when their female partners are experiencing the end of their menstrual cycles) engaging in homosexual activity. This isn't an explicitly agreed to accommodation by their female partners, though it is tacitly endorsed because so long as it isn't made explicit/public the arrangement is mutually beneficial.

This is like that website that deciphers Ebonics into English. This is also the first time I've ever heard of such a practice.

In my experience, people in the area don't really care about your sexual orientation. They do care if you are a good neighbor. David and I are very open about it and have never had any problems. Our block has three gay couples and two transgendered people. The days when you had to hide and search for gay friendly places to meet are, for the most part, behind us....at least in this area. It's difficult to tell who is gay anyway, with all the hipsters.
I used Cher and the soundtrack of West Side Story more than once to blast kids off my front steps when I lived in Fishtown.
I would call that both gay AND friendly.
Cher? I would reach for Barry Manilow. It takes a special form of manic-depressive to be a Fanilow. I've done what you've done in the past, but not to get rid of kids.
Put this on your iPod, set to repeat, crank it up and then leave the house for 6 hours.
The barry manilow reference reminds of my some of my favorite Crucial Unit lyrics, from the song wall of death the circle of life:
Quote:
riding my bike and i saw such a mess. hundreds of white people in protest. i rode a bit closer to see why they were (redacted). thought they were buying barry manilow tickets. they weren't coming from playing tennis, but they had a picture of a giant fetus. i knew it was time to round up the kids so we could lock arms and (redacted) resist. wall of death the chain of (redacted) life.
the manilow reference kills me everytime i hear the song (even though its next to impossible to make out the lyrics)

George, are you trying to say that...there were others?
I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you.
