Thanks very mcuh tampatalon!
Your comment and details are so warm and precious to me! And surely to others! Even straights will understand that, and you both too!! It could be that you will also SAVE lives of those who want, fear or destroy gay life or living!! Your life carries on beautifully in wondrous ways, that way!
As I remember the Montreal Salon organiser two years ago, she asked me in front of persons if I was gay and she got yes from me... in a way, as she said that she felt that I was open to that! She added that she knew of gays in her life and that she accepted that! But I had a hard time to her next question... which disrupted my friendship with my long time gay buddy (Ronald), unfortunately!
And this year, her helper... surprised me a lot! He came to get her paintings in the gallery where I was exhibiting my paintings I created... but he was wearing high heel shoes like a lady. So I was puzzled! And at another time, I did ask him a question.
One never knows another persons sexual preference? !!
Like you say, curiosity in your cherished milieu was accepted... eventually! Pray that is so in another milieu? I heard of others... gladly!
More of your life? Gay mariage... and help!! Please...
hugs!
