Just a question for you Have you had to deal with any that have been alcoholics or drug abusers? Have you had
someone you know die from complications from AIDS? Have you known anyone that has committed suicide because of it? In every single one of those I have,it's part of the dirty little secrets that are so often under reported and very often not mentioned about how wonderful that lifestyle is. You see the facade and it looks so good from the outside but it's not so wonderful when you get underneath the surface. You do realize that most gays will live an average of 15-20 years less then a smoker? Never mind the rest of the health issues that are 100% preventable which are due to a direct result of the behavior.
Have knwon friends who have committed suicide over it. And it was a terrible situation. They thought they were despised by the world around them being that we are in the 'bible belt'. As far as alcohol and drug addictions...I have known far more straight people with these problems than people in the gay community.
