I think things have gotten better, but the bigots have been especially vicious as they see their last "hurrah" rapidly approaching.Big Bad Bald Bastardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01983025559556548658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-69658001470313690782013-03-29T11:09:59.119-04:002013-03-29T11:09:59.119-04:00I was taught by my father that homosexuals were ev...I was taught by my father that homosexuals were evil and wrong. outgrew this nonsense before I was out of high school. One of my close friends was gay. He was sad and lonely much of the time, except when he was with his friends, most of whom knew his "secret," or had guessed. It never mattered.<br /><br /><br />Most of us went to war in the Sixties and early Seventies. My friend had a relationship with one of his fellow soldiers at a forward firebase on top of a mountain somewhere in-country. His friend was killed in front him during one of many attacks. Subsequently, as long as he was alive my friend went to the Memorial Day ceremonies wearing his fatigues and medals and a white rose attached to his lapel for his friend's memory.<br /><br /><br />My friend died a few years ago. It was cancer.<br /><br /><br />I still have a few friends who I know are gay, and probably a few that have not yet come out. These are my friends, so I really don't care.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07059717904682980669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8526498499129692237.post-60965077011711259302013-03-29T08:24:02.936-04:002013-03-29T08:24:02.936-04:00@BBBB,
