Definitely not a “gay ghetto” at Smith or in NoHo. I think I really get it re gays at Smith: it’s a place they can be out and comfortable without looking over their shoulders or watching their words, etc. In that sense, Smith is like integration in all the best senses, so thoroughly blended that it’s not cause for comment, though it may be a kick in the head when you first experience it and then another kick in the head when you leave, the latter being something that I’ve heard words to the effect of several times.

Slightly on-topic joke: the traveling salesman from Wyoming walks into the gay bar, looks around, and says, “Holy !@#$, I’m in the wrong joke!”
