Sorry if I misunderstand you john. I didn't mean to offend but rather wish to point out that people need to quit feeling sorry for themselves and taking on the role of victimization. If we all did this, then where would society be in the end? Surely eveyone could find something in society for which they can be a victim. The trick is to find that which empowers us as individuals and not let others keep us down.
It's one thing to say that. I don't feel particularly victimized, but I do feel limited. What can I say in the workplace? What kind of people will accept me?

Also, I never had this experience, but I have so many friends who "don't get along with their parents." I always ask why, and the answer's almost always the same. It's because they're gay. And they're overcoming these obstacles, not being victims. But it still makes you think, This is a screwed-up world.

Anyway, I'm agin' it, of course. There are few enough gays as it is.


If only I could saith, so should I.
