parisnow, you're right about firearms, but I didn't know you could type while asleep! I assume your brain went to sleep before your fingers. Never-the- less, you did a great job answering OP's question. BTW, my wife taught me to shoot; I think she has more firearms than me. We know plenty of female shooters- you're not so rare (probably nice, intellegent, well traveled, and a million other things; but I wouldn't use the adjective "rare"

I get weird looks when I say I am going to the firing range and I don't know a single female who owns a gun. That is why I selected the word rare. My female friends would agree with you that I am not rare. They would use the word crazy!
People use sleep walking as an excuse for midnight snacks so why can't I use sleep typing as an excuse when I say stupid things!

I am shocked at such a question in the year 2006...
what is the big deal, really? If you are an attractive man, you may get him on by women and men alike. As long as they aren't crude, politely decline and take it as a compliment.
Do you mean to ask that because of the large LGBT community in SF you are fearful of being sexually accosted? Your risk of this is less than what the average woman has to fear on a daily basis. So, will you be safe from aggressive interest? Yes, for the most part.
As for the comment about a gay bar, at the worse some guy may offer to buy you a drink. I once went to a non-gay bar and got hit on by a woman! Ha! And while I had to politely decline, I do have to admit that she provided better conversation than most of the guys!
Will you be safe from what regular cities deal with in terms if pickpockets, the overpriced coffee drink and paying twice for Muni? That is a whole nother story.....
In reality, you have probably had more contact with the LGBT community in your own homeland than you will when you visit SF ( I have a feeling you will run screaming from anything remotely resembling a multicolored flag ). The difference is that in other areas, it may be kept more on the "down low".

Ps...as for the issue of homelessness....the homeless are people...plain and simple. Ignoring them doesn't make them go away...and may harden your heart instead.
If you choose to not give any more to them, that is ok. A kind "sorry" always is appreciated much better than the blank stare or looking away or the "get a job!" type of angry comments.
