the only other time i got goose bumps like i just did was when i read a book about a Holocaust survivor. And that was a hell of a lot more words than you used. Well put. I am glad you put this up here. May he rest in peace.

I too have a uncle who is gay and suffers from AIDS. I get scared often about the future. I can’t picture life with out him. I’m very sorry for your loss. Glad you have an accepting attitude. I’m always baffled by the amount of people who are so ignorant on the subject. Thanks for the story.

This is really touching.

I thought my family was fairly open to homosexuality (we have an openly gay cousin living with his partner, but apparently they’re total hypocrites who completely judge his lifestyle), but the past two days I’ve realized they aren’t. Apparently, we’ve become too accepting of every little minority out there. It kind of breaks my heart to hear them say such things. I’m gay (or, well, I think I am – regardless, it has given me a huge understanding of the gay community). My feelings have never been a choice. It hasn’t just been an option on a checklist I decided I’d like to try one day. It’s who I am. Period. The fact that my family, and many other people out there, would ostracize people for such a small thing amazes me (and not in a good way). Ignorance astounds me. I have so much more I would like to say about this topic, but I’d be here all night.
