Just wanted to comment on a couple of things said so far...
Yes, I'm gay. No, I'm not without a sense of humour. And I'm not defintiely not a politcally correct kinda guy...
In my post, I didn't say I was looking to start a gay group, BTW... You'll notice I said "gay or people who are cool with the whole gay thing."
The intent was to find gay and/or gay positive TAs to hang out with sometime - people who would accept me (and my friends) for who I am without judgement, etc. I don't pretend that everyone is cool with gay people. To be honest, most of the time, I don't care how people think. But if I'm looking for friends, they pretty much gotta accept me for who I am. (and I certainly wouldn't want to be responsible for making DJ Moonshine sick, LOL).
I think the fact that some people on here have strong opinions about the post does prove my point. I'm not going to reply to anyone's specific comments, but suffice it to say I find it interesting that people who aren't gay (or even gay positive) feel it necessary to even comment on the post. I mean, it's not as if this has anything to do with you... unless it is a homophobic reaction. (and before anyone gets pissed at that, imagine the response you'd get if you said "first the black people wanted us to treat them white..." and I think you get my drift.).
Ask yourself this: If you aren't interested in the "Car Stereo for Sale" post, you probably don't reply to it. Why did you feel it necessary to reply to this one.
The truth is, I have met a lot of great TAs, and have become friends with a few of them. In a lot of these cases, I met these people off my last Gay TA post, either through the message board or in person when they saw me at some event. It's been pretty cool, because these TAs fall into the "gay positive" description, and have never made my being gay an issue.
I wish it was always the case, but unfortunately it isn't. That's why I posted the message in the first place.

Sorry chrismack it's more a political irk I have more than a personal one against you or any gay TAs.
I'm not homophobic, I've had gays friends/associates before and they were all pretty cool (funny in fact).
I guess I was just havin' a rough day... (a 16 hr day will do that); not that I'm trying to (if you'll pardon the pun) "cover my ass" with my replies. 
I guess I'm just one that sees people more than they see themselves sometimes.
Noone needs to hide behind a minority status with me because in my books... YOUZ ALL GOOD!
Hope that kinda clears things up.
I look forward to meetin' yea... and dance on!
