You, my friend, are a strong individual. Your story is simply fascinating, and I see so much of myself in you. I take comfort in your inspiration. Thank you.
Max, I’m very glad you’ve got a community here and that you feel comfortable and accepted being out. You have some important contributions to make as we move from dumb sprawl to more liveable places!
I can´t say that I agree at all with what you say about Phoenix/Scottsdale. Obviously if you live in a developing suburb you will be next to vacant lots and gravel, but you are, without a doubt, doing a disservice to the rich native american and hispanic cultures that thrive in the area and have been there for centuries. Even if you aren´t proud of where you are from, you should do your best to paint an accurate picture of it, especially if your story is going to be in a public forum for thousands to see.
