kyburgThis reminds me of my first exposure to homosexuality at the age of 11. Sitting at the breakfast table when Mom came home from work late one morning...after helping one man find a funeral home to bury his partner of over 30 years.
Because nobody in town would help a gay man bury his partner, and there was no family to call to help him. Mom was both very sad...and pissed. "Neither of them had so much as a traffic ticket, and they get treated like this!" I'll never forget it.
One guy 64 years old, the deceased 69. Nothing that people do behind closed doors that harms no one - shoot, they never even knew about them until one of them croaked in the ER - is worth hating about.

firez, chefbigdaddy, I'm looking right at you. Better take some steps, or this will happen to you.
But please. Don't ask me to be surprised.
