[QUOTE="Ropefree, post: 238004, member: 6271"] bran155: I haven't seen THAT movie. And my cousin was gay. When the hiv/aids situation was taking so many I was so concerned for him. I made attempts to get his phone number from my family and not one person would offer it. Then he was hospitalized. my family said not to bother him. And I said "just tell me the name of the hospital." When I got his room my aunt attempted to interfere saying "he needs to rest"...but he asked who it was...he took my call. And many calls after that as well. Although we hadn't spoken to each other for many years it was as if we had never stopped. When we were little we played together many times and he was such a creative playmate. As an adult he had done all sorts of amazing things with his many talents. He died within months of diagnosis. When I wanted to send a card to his love who had lost him, and likely sick as well again my family discouraged any contact. I felt then that it is this shunning that made the atmosphere of casual sex and secretcy that fueled the epidemic into the leathal form that we witnessed in those years. I am also supportive of the marrage between same sex partners who deserve the ligitemacy of their human love and devotion. I feel that for maturity that adults do need to commit themselves to one another to find the fullness within the lessons of life. The era of raising large families and armies and acquiring wealth and houses and wells by invasions is one lesson that human beings need not repeat. [/QUOTE]
