I'm a polictially naive. Is it a step forward to have homosexuality be an identity rather than a facet of an individual? Or is that a necessary step towards it being truly an accepted facet of an individual? When I was diagnosed with diabetes, I resented the hell out of being identified as "diabetic" instead of "someone with diabethes".

That's true, they didn't think about it the same.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is there such a thing as diabetes culture? I just read an article by my favourite nemesis, Brian Moylan, (no, he doesn't know I exist) that not just identified gay culture as existing (well hello!) but seemed to imply it was some sort of mandatory.

Thanks, folks. I guess we'll see what's going to happen. There will, in any event, be a lot of creative storytelling to get my mother there.

Given the number of Presidents we have had, odds are pretty good we have had had at least one President who engaged in same sex romance.

Consuela, my fingers are very much crossed for you and your parents.

Well I bit the bullet and now we are transferring to Santa Monica even though I absolutely don't want to. We brought grace here to be near docs who know her. To move her is not sensible because the folks at Huntington don't. Going to Huntington simplifies my life but doesn't address why she is here I the first place.
I hate when being rational doesn't get me what I want.

Consuela, I hope she can figure something out. I have known older people who were practically dragged to an assisted living facility who cheered up quite a bit once they realized they had lots of stuff to do. It would certainly be better for your father, anyway, and the staff is accustomed to dealing with angry demented people. I watched the staff at my aunt's assisted living place manage to settle the woman who threw screaming, cane-whacking fits if someone sat in "her" chair at bingo.

K-Bug works at an assisted living facility now. It has varying levels of care from independant living to skilled nursing.
Consuela - I am glad the options are looking better. Is this gal going to help you find a place that would accept your parents?
