My name is Betty and I live in Indianapolis. I have two children: daughter 18 and son 14. Married 29 years. I have had a series of careers: English teacher, corporate sales trainer, at-home mother, now Sunday School director at a large church.
I was drawn to BBM by an online trailer and found the story online before The New Yorker withdrew it. It haunted me for weeks until I saw the movie on Dec. 27. The movie and story fed each other and the combined experience left me not able to eat or sleep for a week.
My connection was initially through my brother, who was closeted to my family until the last few months of his life. He died ten years ago at age 48 of complications from AIDS. It was the fear of rejection that kept him away from us, but I was able to tell him finally that we all realized he was gay long ago; we loved him and no one cared who he chose to love. Ennis’ fears resonated the pain our family suffered because of homophobia.
But that wasn’t the only connection point for me. My family does not understand why I was hit so hard – shoot, I hardly understand myself – but I am changed forever by this event: the book, the movie, the forums, the fanfiction, the new online friends. I continue to evolve, but what it comes down to is this: I used to be Ennis, shutting out the world and its pain but also its possibilities. BBM has removed my armor, and while I am open to the pain in the world, I want to embrace those who suffer from it. I am becoming Jack. And people have noticed.

I live in a small town called Bergschenhoek, just outside Rotterdam :)
And yes, I will be in Greece till August 5, home for about a week and then I'll be going to the US to meet up with Helen in Wyoming - yeeeeee - haaaaaaaaaw!! LOL and some other friends from the DC board in New York :)
How lovely Leslie and Louise that you will be meeting up in London :) Hope you will still be able to make it to Rotterdam in October :)
And now I deperately have to go and read the two new chapters!!!!!!! Whoooooooo!!!!!
