Hmmm, WHAT part of the country did you say you're from?!?  While our group
is currently all white and I suppose middle-class from an income point of
view, I haven't found it to be intolerant or prejudiced -- and I'm a
multiply-pierced, tattooed, pagan Lesbian bellydancer!  (AND our group uses
my home as the address for the group as I'm considered the "most stable"!)
Of course, we *are* in the San Francisco Bay area....
