I never realized they were 'gay'. They were just our neighbors and our friends. Even when classmates at school would make rude remarks about 'queers' or whatever, I never really equated that with the loving family that lived next door. This was in the deep south and some of the redneck rhetoric could be vicious, but not once, not ever, did I ever hear a kid or a parent disrespect the McElwee family. That experience, probably more than any other makes GL relationships seem pretty normal, maybe even blase' to me. (Although, as a lesbian myself, I am a bit more inclined to accept that at face value than gay relationships. So I guess I'm not as 'liberated' as I make myself out to be).<BR/><BR/><BR/>We had a big first birthday party. Olive said it was expected both by her Philippine culture and by our Carolinian and Chamorro neighbors as well. Must have been 300 or so in attendance. Seemed nuts to me since Alexander could care less about any of it except the never ending source of playmates. That said we had a great time and got to meet lots of folks. It was a lot of work, however. Next 'must do' party is at 7. I'm thinking about being on vacation about then. HEHEHH<BR/><BR/>Later,<BR/>BruceBruce A.

Since we are couples it is easier to begin something that supports where we are currently...I can see how it may help to inspire or off-spring other support groups as well. <BR/><BR/>More coming up on support...thank you <BR/><BR/>Island DykeIsland Dykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00017023248354625874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-476862654208662676.post-11038043870203756572007-12-03T23:17:00.000-08:002007-12-03T23:17:00.000-08:00Support!
