Visceral Responses

Folks,...

Now, among Gay persons,... in private company... we joke that some of the visceral responses are really sexual attraction.

But seriously,.. in a society like ours... where there is limited justice... and very poor intervention in many cases...

Visceral responses... are perhaps for the most part... unexpressed emotion..

And this is the unexpressed emotion of trauma.

It is the persons with suicides, child abuse and male rape in closets lurking.

Unfortunately the person who pays the price for all this is the openly gay man minding his own business who had nothing to do with the source of the trauma.

But until we build the capacity to provide that level of support that is needed to address the backlog that exists out there.

It will fall on the few who are willing to step up, and are able to do so.

And that is few people.
