I grew up in small town Missouri, my high school senior class (1963) only had 30 students, yes, I can proudly say that I graduated in the top 30 of my class.

To get to my point however. No one knew of any known homosexuals the whole time I was in school. There was one kid who seemed a little effeminate and we had our suspicions but he did go to the proms and dances with a girl.

Many years later, I found out that he was openly homosexual and living with another man in another state, I wasn’t shocked to learn of it but my point is that “back in the day”, queers had the good sense to shut up about it. I yearn for those days.

After all, how many of us normal people go around shouting about our heterosexuality and wanting special rights and considerations because of it?

FYI, for any Hoosiers here, he’s living in Indianapolis, Indiana and his name is Leon. If you run ito him tell him Graybeard says, Hey! He was a nice guy, probably still is except for that perversion thing he’s got going.
