Yes, the intrigue begins. The innuendo is ever present. The scuttlebutt pervades. People with such varied and fascinating backgrounds coming together to share a community in which the only things we all have in common is that we are of a certain age and part of the LGBTQ+ community. Several having survived partners. Gay, Lesbian, Trans. Then, there’s yours truly, the bi guy looking for a community I’ve never fully immersed myself into.

The fellow with whom I had this experience was not a resident, but a friend of a former resident. So, like any network, the circle extends out beyond the facility itself.
