I work for an LGBT choral group of 100 singers and more. There are young and old in the transition process. My advice for anyone is to make sure you have the support system. When one of our members is having a hard time or is celebrating a decision, we all are there for them. They are taken out, they are visited, they are called and get emails of concern and support. It is a beautiful thing. We applaud, console and hug one another every day.

You know, straight people do not have this level of support and community so I encourage everyone, straight or other, find an LGBT group that you can join and participate with whether it is a gay choir, gay hiking club, gay book club, gay bar. You don’t have to be gay and don’t have to have sex with them, just befriend, accept and support. They will do the same and respect who you are. They are not prejudice against straight people. I love when new members come out to the choir. They say they feel like they are home.

I’d guess that 1/3 of the group is straight. We have a straight couple who joined the choir to support their newly out teenage son. He is not old enough to sing with us but sells tickets at the door, raffle prizes and helps to set stuff up. The point is, the people are there for community. The group not only changes lives but has saved lives.

To quote Stephen Sondheim, “No One Is Alone.”

I got banned from a forum because someone was being racist and I called them out on it. HE IS STILL THERE.

Of course, when you teach pedestrians they can step in front of 2 tons of steel because they magically have the right of way or, teaching people to walk facing traffic then of course there will be more accidents. Facing traffic is particularly dangerous because typically a car pulling out to the right (here in the USA) will be yielding to their left and won’t see a pedestrian walking in front of them. Likewise, pedestrians facing traffic tend to walk on the road instead of the shoulder because eye contact gives them confidence they don’t deserve.

Electromagnetic catapults? I heard that steam power is better. Especially steam created by big beautiful clean coal. Everyone is saying.

Isn’t this the theme of WICKED? The “good” people are wicked and the “wicked” people are good. Of course, anyone who has done DMT knows that the insectoid creatures, machine elves, aliens, angels, clowns, snakes and green lady are all good which does make you wonder if we have it all backward.

Are you sure that is not early stages of Beech Bark Disease?
