I'd like to state publicly that if anyone ever tries to "cure" or "correct" 
my "condition", ie, homosexuality, even with "affection" for me, in any 
circumstance, be it while living, or during revival or reconstruction from 
suspension, should that ever occur, I would view that as murder of my person. 
 I am who I am, not whom you would want me to be. I do what I do, not what 
you would want me to do.  Louis Epstein, and likeminded bigoted myopic 
misanthropes, are my worst nightmare.  I spent many years learning to be 
myself, and to like myself, in the face of a society that did not accept 
homosexuality- provided no positive role models, nurturing, or condoning of 
stable relationships.  Bigots can tie me to a fence and pistol whip me into a 
coma, as they did Matthew Shepard, but they can never make me other than I am 
unless they kill me.
