Wow!! These are some really good stories. Especially that last one by timothyb. I guess it's different for different folks and the way that they are raised. Obviously timothyb grew up around love and acceptance; unlike myself, I pride myself in not being like my parents or step-parents, who pushed me away and did nothing to raise me properly. I mean even in the little things like balancing a check book or learning how to shave. . I had to learn those things on my own. But good for those who have grown up in the love and continue to love. And good for those who are learning how to love. whewww!! I better stop before someone calls in the gay preacher man to hold church service.

Any ways, keep sending in the wonderful stories.

Bye for now,

Juan
