A number of years ago---I believe before you were here---we had an openly
gay participant.  (He was a career airman, stationed overseas I believe.)
He made some valuable contributions to the group, and, I believe, received a
lot of help here.  It was a good reminder that this disease, like most
things, cuts across, not only race, religion, and political preference, but
also sexual orientation.  I agree that any gay person would be welcome here,
but I imagine that there are many sexual issues which could be more fully
appreciated and discussed in a gay support group.
