Heterosexuals "are welcome as long as they understand this is our community,"

Zamislite da ovako nesto kazu heteroseksualci. Sta bi se desilo. Proglasili bi ih homofobicnim. Ovo je cista heterofobija. PAZLJIVO PROCITAJTE VEST.

There Goes the Neighborhood (Homosexuals Are Upset Alert)
The Wall Street Journal ^ | March 2, 2007 | James Taranto

In the Castro street neighborhood of San Francisco, "heterosexuals are moving in," and some homosexuals are alarmed, reports the San Francisco Chronicle:

Some gay and lesbian residents of the Castro are worried that the culture and history of their world-famous neighborhood could be lost in the process, and they have started a campaign to preserve its character. The city, meanwhile, is spending $100,000 on a plan aimed at keeping the area's gay identity intact.

Heterosexuals "are welcome as long as they understand this is our community," said Adam Light, a leader in the Castro Coalition, a group formed eight months ago to address the shifts in the neighborhood in recent years.

Imagine replacing "heterosexuals" in that latter paragraph with "gays". Yet there is no indication in the Chronicle story that Light's comment is in any way invidious. It's another example of the point we made yesterday that political correctness entails intolerance for some prejudices but impunity for others.
