On the subject of Ina's gay friends: I think it does have something to do with the people she used to work with, Secondly, what is wrong with her having friends who are gay? I, for one, am glad to see that gay people aren't shunned and ridiculed like they used to be. I especially appreciate the fact that HGTV doesn't have a problem showing two guys who are getting their house remodeled.
