I had many gay friends who died 20 plus years ago from the AIDS epidemic, so I know no one now at my age who is gay. My boys are both into girls, and unfortunately in their age group, early 20's, they do not have compassion or understanding of the gay community. Having lost so many friends, I am very excepting of other people and their lifestyles. Gay people deserve the same rights and benefits as any other human being. I am keeping this, and hoping one day my children, their friends will understand,we are all the same, we all what love and companionship, and it's our right to be happy and is not our rate to decide who gets to be happy in life. I am your age, and I find it seems we are the ones who the most accepting because we lost so many friends, and saw what happened to our friends, and how they were treated for being different. The younger generation doesn't seem to be as understanding and accepting as we are since they have not experienced loss. Your words are beautiful, and God Bless You. Got let me to your blog, just searching for why I have, Old Lady Bruises on the back of my hand.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023809369245556096.post-55294917598091438022009-04-23T06:36:00.000-04:002009-04-23T06:36:00.000-04:00Hi, Carol.

Keep writing, I love what you have to say. And I want you to know that there is a place for you in so many hearts.<br /><br />Btw, you are exactly my husband's age! I am fourteen years younger, though, and find weird bruises all the time...I suspect the're a "gift" from my garden.brittanicalshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00704020648506935622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023809369245556096.post-61761302345961365872009-04-18T18:02:00.000-04:002009-04-18T18:02:00.000-04:00Carol,

For recognizing that people are people, and that love between people whether straight or gay is just that, love. So much more than the physical. You write beautifully and I hope you know just how much your blog touches lives. Be encouraged and once again, thank you for the love that you share from your heart.Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285945621265765072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6023809369245556096.post-81202289331552264072009-04-17T12:25:00.000-04:002009-04-17T12:25:00.000-04:00Carol, That is a beautiful post.

So don't feel old! ;) <br />It is refreshing to hear that someone (who is not gay) get's that homosexuality is about more than sex. The companionship, compassion and shared moments I have with my partner... have been life changing for me. <br />Peace, <br />You are a wonderful writer, with a beautiful balance of compassion, wisdom and vulnerability.Danielnoreply@blogger.com
