That has been the rule here, it is still the rule here, and unless more people like you, me, Grumpy, and yes even justjim work to change it, it'll continue to be the rule.
There are transgenders living right here in the Villages, who might have read these posts and seen that members of THEIR community are referring to them as "freaks." A doctor, no less. "America's Friendliest Hometown" is a lie.

Whoa. Put your broad brush down. AND Who is misguided, myopic and has a totally warped sense of reality???
People are allowed to say what they think here in The Villages and in this country even if we STRONGLY disagree with it. Or strongly stand with it.
My take is that most people who live in The Villages are old enough and wise enough to accept people and like them or not like them for who they are and not be influenced by their sexual orientation.
Being gay is not a decision. It is something that people are born with, just like Autism and genius and cognitive deficits and artistic ability and eye hand coordination and athletic build and color blindness and being physically attractive or not physically attractive or tall or short, blue or brown eyed, bald or not. Some things make it easier to live in this world and some make it harder. People may have a "gut" reaction to you that takes effort to control. Some try and some do not.
