Mam: This horrible crime took place in Laramie, Wyoming, I believe -- a fairly small town with virtually no crime. It has shocked and divided our nation. This dear, sweet, gentle boy who never hurt anyone. It's sickening. -- Kathy

Agreed Joicy,
I have always felt very comfortable with my gay friends, both male and
female, I think that they have a hard enough time dealing with their own
problems in life without the rest of us condemming them for something that
is essentially none of our business anyway. We recently had a story in the
news about a young man who was killed (somewhere in the US?) for being gay.
What really mortified me, was the antigay protesters who turned up at his
funeral.....These people should first clean up their own backyards! I
really felt for this young man's family and friends, not only did they have
to bury their son, but they had to put up with those horribly insensitive
people!
What a world we live in!
Love Mam
