Wow!
Thanks very much karen1129!!
Your uncle is nearly my age! Since I did live in the 3 main gay areas in San Francisco, I wonder if I ever did see him.
I do not remember one working for an airline there...oh yes, some for airlines, but was one living in San Francisco? Trouble is with us gays is that not many asks questions as to what king of work you do! And when I ask, many refuse to tell me! And sometimes I refuse also to say... as I know that criminals pretend to like gays or be gays!!
Pray that your uncle will be better and better, and happy too!! Great that he had a couple of relationships!!
Maybe he will again? !!
As in the Brokeback Mountain film, one does NOT declare that you are homosexual or gay, then nor now even if you were teenagers in the sixties!! These are unspoken words or worlds! There are exceptions as more do open up and feel safer.
But the world is still not safe for gays, not in USA nor Canada yet, not that much. I lost my partner/lover two years ago because the muslim doctor in the hospital refused to help my friend because my friend was christian or jewsih and/or GAY!! I feel he was killed on purpose!
Many, too many, gays are killed on purpose because they are gay!! Murderers, most, get away with it!! Unfortunate!! If there is gaydar, there is also the opposite for killers, because murderers figure easily if you are gay, and know gays are easy targets!! Sad, sad!!
Even to-day, most straights are homophobic to different degrees, sad thing!! Quebec is most and was the first open to gays in Canada, even are for gay mariages, but recent survey show it is NOT yet acceptable for men to kiss. But for two ladies to kiss is OK! Why?
Since you are a lady, may I ask why is it so easy and so acceptable for two ladies to kiss in public, but NOT for two men (homosexual or heterosexual)??
Hugs!
