I am still a bit bugged. I found the email about the trolls hurtful. Hitting middle age as a gay man in the US, where ageism is alive and well, makes me a bit sensitive. I am hopeful the gay community in Uruguay appreciates diversity. As gay minorities and knowing the pain of oppression, I would hope our stuggle would generate a sense of unity, compassion, and understanding--not the perpetuation of ignorance and name calling. Even being an old troll in his late forties, I may tend to be too ideal about a world where mutual respect and diversity can be embraced. I notice my last email wasn’t posted.

Fortunately my parents are still alive but I have experienced much loss otherwise. I trust there is always learning and growth from loss--no matter how painful. <br/>Anyhow, I feel a bit selfish changing the topic, but I am very excited to chat with someone from Uruguay who is gay and an expat. My parnter and I are planning on traveling there this November or December to explore it as a winter retirment possibility. What do you believe would be the best way to meet other expats and Urugaians who are both gay and straight on our short excursion this winter? I would really like to get a sense of the community there. By the way, I hope this gets through to you. It is my first experience with blogging. I am so sorry to hear about your parents.
