Example Sentences

- "For many, gay bars have been the traditional vehicle for coming out. Gays, unlike heterosexuals, are rarely provided with homosexual companionship at home or at work. This as made for a frequent overdependence on those social contacts offered by the bar scene — contacts which are often by the nature of their starting point, unfulfilling."
