    So far no one has given a quality answer to this letter

    When reading the response to this letter so far I feel as if I am playing the childhood game of telephone. The writer never claimed to be wearing the leather pants he owns that evening while dinning and drinking with his wife. Today with fashion styles forever changing who exactly is wearing what? I know plenty of gay men that are not the greatest dressers. He was not wearing an outfit from a village peoples performance, and if he was all the power too him. The world is a forever changing place. Inclusion and acceptance, they claim to be liberal, so to have a drink sent over from anyperson is a grand gesture. Inviting them to join and meet during dinner/drinks is just proper ettiqute. Even if it is just a hello meeting. The word "Gay" meant happy years back. It does not matter if your a hippie, metrosexual, gay, etc... life brings experiences and you must be open minded otherwise so many fun times will pass you by. Lay off your wifes clothing choices. You married her six years ago for love? If for some reason she is uncomfortable or jealous of these men or anyone you must consider her feelings warranted or not. With that expressed I personally feel that anyone who pays me a compliment male or female, gay or straight, that makes me smile and feel good for a momment is worth sharing a drink with.
