It is believed in the gay community that the Subaru Forester marketing is targeted to lesbians while the Subaru Outback is targeted to gay guys. So I was told about two years ago by a friend who is gay, lives in San Francisco, and works in advertising - he seemed like a credible source. And you do tend to see a lot of Subarus with the rainbow sticker.

I like the Forester and have sometimes thought of buying one - wish it had the WRX motor, though.

As for gay bashing, I despise those who engage in it. I know lots of gay people, they work hard, pay taxes, mow their yards, raise their kids, etc just like everyone else. In urban California you tend to meet a lot of gay people in daily life and the whole idea of thinking they are somehow bad or weird or dangerous becomes rather laughable. I hadn't realized Mul was a gay basher - since he's on my Ignore list, I have no idea what he's saying nowadays - but if that is true it is really too bad.
