I felt good reading this. I liked how from a distance you seemed to think of the LGBQ community as bad but in close proximity you were passionate toward their humanity, which of course seems so normal. When we actually know people we can see their humanity, which is another normal response. Anything less than total acceptance is the only sane position and you know that too. I laughed that you had this crazy boyfriend but you were worried they wouldn’t believe you, but of course they didn’t renew the protective order and you had to leave. I want you to know that your intelligence comes through loud and clear. I believe you. I fall in love with the craziest people too and so I always get my heart broken. It’s so pathetic. I cannot learn from my mistakes.
