What If the Tables Were Turned?
My friend, Yondalla, (with a lot of help from her family) fosters gay teenage boys. She is loving, compassionate, and brilliant. She's also honest about the joys, the sorrows, successes, failures, and sometimes the frustrations of working within the "system". In her "spare" time, she's a University teacher.
She and I "met" when she noticed the PFLAG link on granny and we've become close online friends. For any who may not know, that's Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (since expanded to include transgender and bisexual. My two sons and I helped start the chapter here. One is gay, the other isn't but they've always supported each other.
Her post today talks about singling out and stereotyping. It's a topic we come back to often in our meetings.
Thanks, Yondalla.

That there are kind people in the world gives hope. But sadly they seem to be outnumbered! Cheers!
