Would you prefer I pretend?
I have no problem with homosexual relationships. I've suggested my wife take one up several times. I even offered to supervise.
Actually, I grew up in the city with a gay older brother. I was hanging out at his parties when I was 14. (Great mixed drinks!) I saw friends of his (and mine) that I knew for twenty-years die of AIDS. Several times my brother brought his friends who were HIV positive to our family Christmas dinners because he thought it might be their last chance to celebrate Christmas in a family setting. Some of them even cooked the dinner. My brother always brought his boyfriend as well. Having gay guys around was always normal for me. I've never known any other life.
How many gay guys at your family gatherings, Mr. I Don't Live In The Backwoods?
Like I said, you may have internet studies and Dr. Feelgood's pixiedust to lighten your path, but I prefer real life.
Keep your internet studies and your pixiedust. I'll stick to real life. Real life: family, friends, kids, the day to day trials and tribulations the world throws at you. When you get tired of living vicariously through someone else's statistics, give real life a try. You might enjoy it.
