Do you ever feel lonely?

[Torie]

Not now. I'm part of a community, and have a partner and we love each other.  So I'm very fortunate. But in the past, yes from time to time. Heck, I lived alone for 30 years. I "connected" as it were through work, and my legal colleagues mostly.

Getting in tune with my sexuality was also obviously a big factor. There is no doubt in my mind that  the acceptance out there on the Fruited Plain by and large of one's sexual choices, and hard wiring, has dramatically improved the lives of millions of folks, many of whom were tortured souls.

 The moral of the story is that it is never too late to get a life.
