Can we do an appreciation thread for the GLBT folk + their strong allies?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

yes, we can!

I appreciate xchrom for his sense and sensibility especially when it comes to sex & sexuality.

:loveya:

(now, your turn. for those of you who have never seen this in the lounge, you pick a person, and praise them. please try, to not use the same person repeatedly. its not a popularity contest, just one in which we show our appreciation for those in this forum, who enrich our lives)

[Jamastiene]

1. I love all of you.

:grouphug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

3. kitchenwitch for her unrelenting support

[SacredCow]

4. I love and appreciate all of my GLBT family.....

...even though we don't always agree to the letter, we share a common bond that is very significant. I'll make a couple of call-outs, though:

La Lioness: I appreciate your wisdom and compassion (and one day, I hope to appreciate your culinary skills!)

Racaulk: I appreciate your sense of humour and fun-loving spirit (and if I ever get through Atlanta, we MUST share a pint or 3 over Family Guy and/or American Dad)

Meegbear: Another sharp and funny fella (and gotta give props to a fellow bear!)



And I appreciate the rest of the DU GLBT just for being here... Whether we're bickering, or laughing... fighting, or celebrating... congratulating or consoling... we're here for each other, and THAT's what is important.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

7. and to sacredcow, for being a good, kind and empathetic person
