As Was ALREADY stated!
There are many Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual personalities in the "ARTS"! They hardly count when discussing the "Gay" Community as a whole in the DR!Most of those who are "OUT" are not in the higher socio-economic class,where it could/would affect one's job prospects.The President of "Verizon"(For All I Know)could be a "Flaming" Cross-Dresser.We would never see him in "Drag",thats for shure!As has also been correctly stated,I have seen no incidenses of open discrimination,or "Gay Bashing"!I do find the way gay men are portrayed on television to be offensive.(Always a "Drag Queen") I have NEVER seen a "Lesbian" on a TV show! Probably due to the fact that Dominican men don't like the idea of "Lesbianism"! They feel that being a lesbian is a "Choice",so he could therefore "Change" her mind.If he "couldn't",it is a negative reflection on his "Machismo"!
Now,that said,this WILL NOT become a forum for any verbal "Gay Bashing",so if you have nothing constructive to say,"DON'T!"
