My favorite Aunt, my Dad's youngest sister was only 13 years older than me. She and her husband owned a hoe in Palm Springs and went there every winter for many years. They lived in Calgary Alberta and I lived in Sacramento California so I often had the pleasure of seeing them on their way down or back from Palm Springs. I have never been there. And, I didn't know it was a gay center. One of the many reasons I love California is we, as a whole are much less bigoted, racist, misogynistic than the rest of the US. I have had the good fortune of have many gay friends during my lifetime. My youngest daughter trained and was licensed as a hair stylist/cosmetologist and also had many gay friends, so we also went to a number of all gay bars in the Sacramento vicinity. Including a couple of after hours bars where we could listen to some fabulous jazz.
Your article brought back many fond memories, so thanks, Graham
Palm Springs is the city of the three 60s: 60 per cent are gay, and, of those, 60 per cent are aged over 60. It is a popular retirement location for the coastal metropolises of CA.
