Sweet Saby... I agree with Anonymous... YOU are a Lesbian!!! :-D You respect us and we love you for it.

This post is inspiring as it shows positive attributes to our world so lacking in the public eye.

With some of the movies out there like "Boys Don't Cry" and "High Art" our world is pictured as though we all just sit around and stay doped up or that we have or cause drama for others to the point of physical harm.

Thank you for your respect Saby.
As always,
I love you,
SSB

P.S. I would like to post a link to this post of yours as this positive light should be shared with all.
