Thank you. I loved my time at Credit-Suisse. I came home feeling great about our time together.

when was this program created? their conversation sounds very out dated and soooo 1985!

[bmcnaught]

You're right. It was filmed in Denver awhile ago, and in many homes the conversation has progressed. But in my experience from working with heterosexual audiences for 35 years, the questions remain the same in many other homes. We're making progress but there are still a lot of people who we will leave behind if we don;t take the time to address people's basic fears.

This video shows a lot of brilliance.

[bmcnaught]

Thank you. The brilliance comes from the human spirit that struggles to understand difference and find common ground.

Simple, yet still a problem.. sadly.

I don't think this is outdated at all. In fact, it's a bit more progressive than a great number of people are ready to accept. I suppose if people are actually attending your seminar, they're at least willing to listen, though.

Also, regarding the guy who talked about people thinking that gay-friendly straight men are themselves gay? I really feel sorry for straight men who get that label, because I know what gay men go thru & I don't want decent heterosexual men to go thru that.

[stillgrow]
