Southern Belles

Maybe I just don’t surf enough, but is it just me or are there really more gay people from the South that are on-line?

Let me clarify. I didn’t say there are more gays south of Metro Manila; I meant there seems to be more of them who are on-line—in blogs, in chat rooms, in on-line forums.

Which begs the next question: why are the other gays from the other points of the compass not on-line? More follow-up questions: Why do they seem fewer from North, East and West? Are there really more gays down South—ergo, gay presence on the net is indicative of this ratio-and-proportion? Or is the inequality on connectivity, not presence? Maybe the Southern gays are just more wired than the others? Why are they more wired? Do they live that far that they have to rely on the internet to be connected?

And now I’m also wondering: where are the gays in the East? St. Lucia East Grand Mall’s tagline is “The East is where it’s at.” So where the hell are they? Are they not wired because they are too busy cruising the banks of Marikina River?

Yoo-hoo, hello?! Come out, come out wherever you are!
