I have long conversations with my gay-positive, queer-loving God and Goddess. While some of you would consider me to be relatively "well," I am still VERY uneasy about my future. Although the NADH is helping me somewhat,, as those who are following me would know, I still have to take medicines around the clock, just somewhat less. Maybe I'm too impatient. I don't know. Surgery is definitely being considered in my near future. Contacts from GAY and GAY-SUPPORTIVE lstmembers, whether PWP's or CG's, would help. If there are 1500 or so of us on the List, 5 to 10% are gay or lesbian. Not by choice, but by God and Goddess-given orientation. Gay is just as much ME as is the color of my eyes (sky blue). And I'm looking for "family." I am single, have a low income, and a biological family that REJECTS me because I am gay. Despite all this, I am absolutely dedicated to helping all of us to find the cure for PD. Again with thanks, Ivan Suzman 47/10 Portland, Maine land of lghthouses 28 deg.
