Money has always been the focus, whether you are Republican, Democrat, Independent, Libertarian, etc. Look at how money, wealth, and materialism has transformed the former Gay Mecca of San Francisco. The Liberal establishment of San Francisco has all but disappeared. Each year, hundreds of gay youth runaway from their homes. Many of those youth are drawn to San Francisco because they bought into the Liberal illusion that San Francisco's thriving gay community was a place where they (youth) could be with their 'own kind'. Upon arrival in this Gay Promise Land, the harsh realities of the cold and mean streets of San Francisco set in very quickly. A 14 year old boy (typical runaway age for gay youth) may seek shelter in one of San Francisco's shelters for youth, but he soon learns that nightly beatings from homophobic boys in those shelters is commonplace. You would think in a city such as San Francisco there would be a shelter specifically for gay youth. Not one shelter for gay youth. Most gay runaways prefer to live on the streets and take their chances, rather than subject themselves to nightly harassment, verbal abuse, and beatings/bashings in shelters not equipped or staffed by gay friendly people. So, how does a 14 year old gay boy survive on the streets of San Francisco? Get a job? Yeah, right. Where does he live? How does he feed and clothe himself? There are plenty of other 'street boys' to show him the ropes. They quickly acquaint him with the economics of street survival. What does a 14 year old gay boy have to offer a city such as San Francisco? The one thing a young gay youth has that is always in demand in San Francisco is his youth and sex. Both work in perfect harmony with each other. What strikes a young 14 year old gay boy upon reaching San Francisco's Castro and Haight-Asbury districts is that Gay people have lots of money. They see the nice homes and the nice cars. They see Gay wealth all around them. During the daytime, Gay San Francisco looks like a great place to live. Once the sun sets, San Francisco is transformed into something else. San Francisco's thriving Gay community of Liberals can be a very cold and detached place to live these days, especially for a runaway youth who was drawn to this Gay Mecca as a place where he could be with people of 'his own'. Somebody forgot to tell this young gay youth that 'his own' were only other runaway gay youth surviving on the mean streets of San Francisco.

It seems to me that money, wealth, and materialism are the main focus for all Gays regardless of political idealogy. If consistency is the hallmark of a political ideology, Liberals only need to look no further than its own backyard in San Francisco to see how inconsistency discredits them as a nobler, progressive, and worthy cause. But, of course, Liberal Gays will always deny they have been corrupted by the same money, wealth, and materialism.
