Merci Br. Patrick !
You say:
Why do you think that you seem so prone to gay-bashing? It seems to happen to you more than anyone I've ever known.
No reply needed.. just a thought

Thanks for the hugs br.p !
Regarding your question which you pose, it is a good one ! I do not find it shocking that you are asking; I am very happy that you ask such !!
What is shocking is that it does happen to me often or at times ! What is more shocking is that it happens very often to gays but I/we/you do not know that, do you ?
I know of many of my friends who have been murdered because they were gay men, and some other gays I heard about likely so too because of that !
I think that because we, gay men, tend to be kind persons; like helping others: even help straights ! And that makes us, gay men, very vulnerable to be hit upon, in many different ways, like bashings we get by straights or vultures, being stolen, lied to often, even murdered ! We, gay men, are too kind !
I often have been told by many that I am too kind, as in helpful, with my money as I got so many bad cheques in my life so far that others have given me, I gave money for food and have feed many, and even given shelter (in my house) to homeless even to straights ! I helped two Americans soldiers have a roof for months in my house and feed them, so they get back on their feet, as two examples, especially protecting them in Canada... from being murdered ! Others gays, I protected and helped also in the USA when I lived there at many places !
Because of my numerous voyages in the United States and Canada in order to participate at exhibitions of my paintings I created, I lived in many cities like in Vermont; Toronto; Los Angeles; Vancouver; San Francisco; Montreal; New York City, N.Y.; etc.; and, therefore, have seen many persons, much homeless, depressed, etc., and even have been helped too in numerous ways by Americans and Canadians/Canadiens, First Nations, and others - and am grateful to all - straights and non-straights, of many cultures and religions and non-religious ! And too by others in non-North America !
