How many elderly homos do you know personally?

I know several, and find them to be very bitter, lonely, and sad. That's what helped me to decide for my own self, that nothing good comes from homosexuality. Seeing them in their twight years is just so sad.

Contrarily, a good majority of elderly married couples, although they may have poor health, they do have some serenity and peace about them -- that you don't find in the homosexuals.

How many elderly homos do you know personally?

None. But I’ve known a good many elderly and middle aged heteros who are very bitter, lonely, and sad.

So what is your point?

I’d say that nothing good comes from being bitter, lonely, and sad, no matter what your circumstances or orientation.

I’ve known some elderly married couples who were absolutely miserable in their twilight years; my parents among them, and some elderly widows and widowers who were so self obsessed with their loss, that they lost the capacity to care for anyone else but them selves and were so consumed with bitterness to the point of yearning for their own death, not caring a hoot about anyone else.

I’ve also known some elderly people, who have embraced life to it’s fullest no matter what.

Being happy or not is a personal decision.

Again, what is your point outside of your own experience?

I also know a homosexual couple, being together, happy, committed and monogamous for a all the years they’ve been together. This was not my experience in my twenty-years in a hetero marriage.

And again, your point?
