You're younger than my husband, Jordy, Mr J2 was born April '33 and was twice a evacuee from the general London, Thames area. He remains very slightly uneasy with homosexuality (like you, early conditioning), but is completely comfortable with the homosexual couples we know, because he met them first as individual people, he liked them and they like him. He's joining me in sending a wedding card to one couple soon.
Like gness's husband he is kind and would never want to upset anyone (except me when he gets depressive bouts).
Anyway, enjoy your day and give Jordy an ear-stroke from me. A person who loves and is loved by a dog has always got a lot of good in him/her. :o)
