Lines: 32 From the terminal of Dionysus-- I am going by the pen name (terminal name) of Dionysus. I think there is a lot of fertile ground to talk about. I had answered a couple of postings by mail and asked the person to post my reply (but no result so far). Topics to discuss: 1) Political climate: many older Gays are worried about the pendulum swinging back and the start of witch hunts. This is actually happening in the US Government especially the military and intelligence agencies. 2) In view of the above how wise is it to come out fully. Remembering how irreversible the process -- Advise and Consent has an example of the consequences. 3) How did you meet your SO? Do you agree with the myth of the average length of a Gay relationship is 6 months? 4) How do you meet people other than at a Student Gay Group or the bars? (NB I live near Chicago -- look me up. Let's have a party a'la the singles group). [Transcriber's note: this may be hard, given the author's request for anonymity!] 5) Have you experienced any "real" discrimination. E.g. I got fired for being Gay. Dionysus -- /Steve Dyer {decvax,linus,ima}!bbncca!sdyer sdyer@bbncca.ARPA
