A much-delayed response. . . I abhor both parties in American politics. I think the Democrats should change their name to the American Socialist Party, and the Republicans should change theirs to the American Idiots Party. Since I can't stand either, I now identify as an Independant, who will not vote for either presidential candidate, with no hope of an Independant/Centrist candidate ever having a snowball's prayer in Hell of ever being elected. Having nothing good to say about either Biden or Trump, I will say nothing at all, which really says it all. Now I'm going to read another chapter of one of my own stories since I don't have the patience to read Ronyx or Fox right now. Any suggestions?

I've read more than once that we're all friends here, as long as we respect one another. And I do mean to be respectful. But Luara, I am extremely tired of this story and your continuing efforts to drag it out to what end. So, as much as I have enjoyed it to this point, even having skipped the last two chapters hoping for some resolution, I have decided to stop reading. My impatience is greater than your wonderful ability to maintain a line of unrewarded expectation. I'm moving on to some of your other stories. Arrrggghhh!

A much belated comment: Join the club. I used the better part of a box of tissues writing this story. 😢

Being the narcissist that I am, and also being frustrated by how long it is taking for Rusty to accept his love for Matty, I am reading my own stories. As a child Wayne's age, I had a teddy bear named Honey, and my brother, who is two years older, had a rag doll named George. There is so much of me in all of my stories, both as one of the boys, and as the father figure. But, as another author once said, "write about what you know," which I have done, heavily embellished with self-hero worship (What Is True Love Anyway) and wishful thinking.

After some thought, I have decided ti keep my comments to myself. 😡

I'm going to weigh in here again with comments that may piss off some of you even though they aren't meant to do so. As background, I remind you that I grew up in the 50's and 60's when American society, at least that part that I was exposed to, was moralistically strict. I lived a heterosexual life for the better part of 60 years. For all of that time, my own thoughts and prejudices about gays was based not on scripture or society, but only on one thing: I found the thought of men engaging in oral or anal sex with one another repugnant. It wasn't until I started reading gay porn that my thoughts and opinions changed. I truly believe that "anti-gay/lesbian" attitudes are still attributed to that same underlying "instinctual?" attitude. As a Christian, it irritates me no end when people hide behind scriptures to justify their own personal feeling of distaste. Paul condemned heterosexual sex outside of marriage (fornication) in the same verse that he spoke against homosexuality. But almost nobody today says anything about heterosexual couples having sex before marriage. And Jesus, who had nothing to say about homosexuality, said that to divorce and remarry was to commit adultery. And I can guarantee you that many who condemn homosexuality are or worship with people in second marriages. Back to the topic at hand, some things are best left unsaid. . . . 😇🥰 so sayeth a moralistic old man. 🤣
