re queer family: I'm actually making friends for the first time in about five years, and at least two are gay, so there's a start.
As for the H disease, my mother has it, which means I've got a 50% chance of getting it. This is enough of a chance that I'd like to know before it happens. I don't know if my school has medical services available--I'll have to check.
And, Cindi, I'm not sure I understand your meaning? I meant that it would be a simple matter of tweaking my mode of dress slightly, things like that. Not hard.
