We have many gay friends. Where we live is known as "the pink triangle" <3

Some of the young (straight) guys joke with the gay men that they're leaving town when it becomes compulsory! :-D

My hairdresser is lesbian... I'm good friends with her parents too. I hug her when I go to the salon, because she's my friend <3

I don't care what anyone does in the privacy of their own homes, with like-minded partners. None of my business. I don't think about what straight people do in their bedrooms, so why would I wonder about what gay people do?!

As I said in my post above..... one friend said "It wasn't a choice, I just am".

Live and let live........ we are what we are :-) <3

See what I mean.

Dr Jesson. There's a wicked waste if ever I saw one.

My cousin is gay she is loving and caring and a wonderful daughter and sister. She has been in a relationship for sixteen years,.and they both work incredibly hard running their own business they have beautiful home and are happy with their lives.

My cousin said recently that she did not choose to be this way, or grow into it, she.was born like it.

Live and let live that's all II want to say

Sharron, I have had some great homosexual pals in the past, they are better than girlfriends as they will be honest about a new hairdo or outfit with no ulterior motives lol

I had two lesbian neighbours for a while, got on with them ok and never felt awkward with them. I knew they were a rock solid couple

I think there is a fairly common male fantasy about finding a beautiful lesbian and "curing " her.

Have never wanted to "cure" a homosexual but aren't some of them a wicked waste!?

I like gay men and am perfectly at ease with them but I do worry a bit around lesbians because I always think I might be giving out signals I don't mean.

I watched the programme and was very sad at all the tripe that was spouted. I think Dr Christian was brave to do the programme and I hope he has recovered from the horrible experiences he had.

It's awful to see how bigoted people are in this day and age - when will people realise that no one chooses to be gay and most have suffered a lot before they come out or are accepted. The ones who are shut out from their families must be so sad, how can you love a child and bring them up and then when they tell you or you realise they are gay, you turn aside from them. I could never have done that had my son told me he was gay (he isn't) altho I would have been disappointed that I might not have had grandchildren (I still don't at the mo lol)

My o.h. wouldn't watch a programme like that, which is why I recorded it and watched it alone. He is very much against anything that presents as two men loving each other altho he keeps quiet about lesbians. It sickens me that he is like that, I keep telling him that they aren't hurting him or anyone he knows so why not accept that that is the way they need to live their lives and move on. But no, he makes me change channels and goes into a rant.

Stupid sad man, I didn't realise he was like that when I first met him. He has many prejudices.

Live and let live is my motto

:-D :-D :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D Sharron!!!

It's worse.

People unload on me too.

It used to take me ages to get my quotas because people wanted to tell me allsorts of emotional things and I know enough secrets to make a fortune out of blackmail.

Once spent a Saturday on here in the background talking somebody out of topping themselves.

I put it down to having big boobies that people want to cry into.

lol Sharron

Are we related? :-D

I'm always being slobbered on by strange dogs! The owners usually look quite shocked, I often hear "he/she never goes to strangers". Cats are always rubbing against my legs, which I hate, cos I'm very allergic to cats. If I'm outside, birds come very close & warble at me (wish I knew what they were saying). The lizards & water dragons also come close, but I'm happy to say I've only come close to a few snakes.

If we go to an "animal place" like a sanctuary or a zoo, I make sure none of them have followed me home. We don't have the space for an elephant.

:-D

I have a strange affinity to animals Maggie.

I took a hedgehog to the vet once and while she was trying to work out how to get in to it, I had it unrolled.

Was interviewing in a house when the cat looked in the door. By the time the woman had finished telling me it wouldn't come any closer because it didn't like anybody it didn't know, it was on my lap.

Maybe I should work on doing it with people. Maybe I won't bother.

I found a story on msn home page (Australia) re Dr Jensen

Sad, very sad.

As a gay friend told me....... "it wasn't a choice, I just am" <3

Elizabeth, the strange thing is, any domestic cats my dad had were vicious. Only he and I could get near them. I've still got scars from the 2 cats we had (at separate times) when I was a child. Then I remembered, my mum and siblings couldn't get near them, and I 'acquired' my scars on one of the many occasions I dressed them in dolls clothes and put them in my dolls pram!!

....Something I never let my children or grandchildren do to the (very soft and gentle) cats they had in their childhood and I've had in my adulthood!!

Dear Maggie


Ahh, your Dad was really caring and its heartwarming to have memories
like this. <3

Thank you for telling me. :-)


Best wishes
Elizabeth,

Scozz, he was trying the 'therapies' - which all proved useless apart from making him feel humiliated and deflated.
He was debunking their theories, and is worried that 'quack therapies' are coming over here from the USA.

Elizabeth, Bohartum (the lion) was very old, and his teeth were rotten, he was in constant pain. Dad had the vet take them out, and, out of pain, he was a lovely fellow. Dad regularly went into the cage with him and rubbed his tummy (he still had his claws!!) After much nagging, dad let me go in give him a very respectful stroke - He licked my hand, and his purr vibrated through the floor :-D

Dear Maggie

Hello

I didn't see the TV programme but I wanted to say
how much I like the picture of your father. :-)


I have always enjoyed seeing family photographs.

It is very generous when fellow colleagues and friends share them. <3

Your father was very brave; giving the zoo occupant a friendly pat.


Take gentle care, Maggie
Best wishes to you
Elizabeth,

??

I'll ask my gay friends if they've heard of him/her.

Don't think they would be amused.

:-(

With the lovely Dr Christian Jessen?
It had me in tears at times.
