[QUOTE="rottweilsteve, post: 90964, member: 2984"] Years ago, I would have been with you on this one, but times change... First change is the change in public opinions towards Lesbians, gay men, and transgendered people. That has certainly gone more our way than I ever expected it to in my lifetime (and I'm only 52, albeit with a diagnosis of aids to go with my D2). People who make it onto specialised internet forums as opposed to gambling sites and facebook tend to be a bit more broadminded and intelligent than you might think - well, aren't we? :D You're welcome to PM me if you feel that there's something only someone you know for sure is gay can help, but I can assure you that I'm not the only gay in the forum <tired old joke> though I do intend making a t-shirt or two with a photo of my dog and the caption "The only rottweiler in the village", just as soon as someone can tell me my Welsh translation is accurate (gotta have every bilingual!) The trouble with splitting fora into smaller and smaller interest groups is that you end up with and interest group of just one or two. Example my brother has D1, and reckons that he got it from radical stomach surgery before the discovery of helicobacter pylorii at the end of the eighties. I've got type two, which I'm as sure as I can be is a result of taking anti-HIV drugs. Before my brother and I there were no indications of diabetes in the family whatsoever: we regard our present conditions as co-incidence. But perhaps, since my brother is also gay we should set up a forum for gay siblings with non-concordant diabetes... You see where it leads? Far better we just muck in together under the lowest common denomiter and explain extra details as we go along, if necessary. Anyway, lecture over :mrgreen: - I do know that I go on a bit... Croeso!
