SPOILER
Louise, How wonderful. You sure know this sex thing. I have learned more these last few weeks than I ever did before. You are changing my life. I'm still bashful like Ennis but I am coming out of it much like Ennis is. As Ennis goes, so I go!

--- Quote from: pastorfred on August 12, 2006, 11:50:03 am ---Well, you knew I would want to get a word in on this, too, hunh? The deep friendship Ennis developed with Hal in A Love Born from Steel was no plot device. Jack was thrilled to see it happen; he realized that Ennis didn't make friends easily. Hal took an interest in Ennis as a person, and that sealed the bargain. Ennis realized that he could have fallen in love with Hal if he had been born years earlier. This realization enabled him to recognize and accept his own homosexuality.
In the Laramie Saga Ennis begins to recognize and accept his homosexuality gradually. As he falls in love with Ellery he is able to come out, at least to himself and his beloved. As he sees the acceptance of others, especially Wes, Edna and Dupree, he can come out of the closet more and more. It's a natural process, and I'm looking forward to seeing it unfold more and more.

Please, please don't stop posting, scudder! It helps me to know that there is a kindred spirit out there. This time I want to echo something you said: "As Ennis goes, so I go." I feel so connected to Ennis in this story that I feel very much the same way. I'm going through significant grief work in my own life, and I find that I make progress along with Ennis. As Louise hoped it would, the story of Ennis and Ellery gives me hope and healing.
