I wasn't sure how to title this thread but I thought it may attract your attention.
I have started this thread in response to an article in the latest edition of Share, form Dory's lesbian carer in the hope that Dory's carer (who I will call DC from here on) will read this thread. I feel it a sad reflection on our society that we need a separate support network for lesbian and gays (or Christians, Muslims, Blacks, Whites etc).
To my knowledge, on TP, these divisive issues have never arisen nor should they - we are all people whose lives have been touched by AD and we should all support one another regardless of the labels that society at large attach to us.
To DC I would say that what we have in common, caring for some one we love, is much greater than that which some feel divides us. If you should read this DC, please join us - your support is sorely needed.
I would be interested to hear the views of TPers on this matter and I plan to write a letter to Share on this issue.
My thoughts are with you DC.
Hugs
Dick
