MODESTO queer community grows ....

In California's Central Valley,
MODESTO queers mobilize.

The town is becoming a moderate island in a conservative county.
There's no queer district yet, but locals frequent three gay bars and
a queer-owned coffeehouse/café.

In 2006, a "Pride Center" may open!

[ SaveFreedom says:
Preventing same-sex marriage isn't enough for some U.S. fascists.
They also want to prevent domestic partnerships, civil unions, or ANY legal recognition of
same-gender relationships.
Such extremist over-kill may succeed in the short run,
in most states;
yet may eventually alienate moderate straights. ]
