"very sad, touching story. i have just started my own column in an LGBT magazine and in one of the issues i may touch on the fact that gays aren't as invincable as some people i've come across seem to think. nice work" -- rae.
"Thanks for your kind words concerning my article, The Story of Dan. It was a sad outcome and I hope that it will help others from future mishaps of this magnitude. It's funny that people belive that gays are invincible because as I see it, we are vulnerable." -- The Author.
"it seems as though people think a person chooses to be homosexual and therefore if something like a rape happens, it's their own fault because of their sexuality. i have a friend who almost let go of everything because of similar circumstances.. it takes a lot to be strong. glad there's people getting the word around." -- rae.
"Thanks again Rae. I really appreciate it." -- The Author.
