Pretty damn positive.
I'm straight, but my best friend is a lesbian, and living with her in Salem for years I naturally ended up meeting lots of lgbt people through her. Lots of cool fucking people. I did have to eject one of her friends from the house once, but that's because they were an unmitigated bitch :/
Looking back, the majority of my friends at any given time from high school on were lgbt.
And let's be honest, it was kinda cool when I lived in Salem would come home from work to a house full of hot lesbians even if they weren't going to sleep with me :p
