EVANGELICALS, HOMOSEXUALITY, AND SOCIAL SCIENCE
JAMES R. BECK

Excerpt:
On the otherwise bleak landscape of America’s decaying urban neighborhoods
shines one bright spot: neighborhoods stabilized and improved by an
influx of affluent gays. “Predominantly gay neighborhoods have arisen in a
dozen major cities over the last two decades, at once bolstering those cities’
sagging tax bases, pumping thousands of dollars into the economy and
sometimes making tired neighborhoods safer and more attractive to heterosexuals"
Where is this happening? In New York’s Greenwich Village, in the
Castro district of San Francisco, in the Cheesman Park area of Denver.
