I'm gay. I have my AARP card. I'm paunchy, hairy, and wear glasses, so I guess that makes me a middle-aged near-sighted bear. I live in rural Pennsylvania with my partner of 10 years and work the overnight shift at a world-class alcohol & drug rehab. I have a caustic sense of humor and a streak of sarcasm that just won't quit.
I spend a lot of time working on my 100 year old Addams Family-style Victorian house. I rake leaves. I chase snakes out of our fish pond. Contrary to rumor, I DO NOT have a herd of wildebeest in my back yard. Oh, and for what it's worth, I also am a published science fiction novelist.
Who I'd like to meet: I'm a curious creature with an eclectic circle of friends. If you're thinking about sending me a friend request, please do! Everyone has a story to tell, and I want to read yours!
I'm especially interested in meeting other gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender former Jehovah's Witnesses from around the world (straight ones, too!). I'm very involved with A Common Bond and have over two thousand GLBT former (and active) Jehovah's Witnesses on my private mailing list.
Hear my story in my own words as presented at the A Common Bond International Conference in Chicago:
I've been clean & sober since 1987 and I'm always interested in hearing from other people in 12-step recovery.
If you wear boots, we have a lot to talk about. I have 18 pair of boots and my collection is growing. There's something about a guy in boots that does amazing things to me.
Any other human beings (or extraterrestrials) are welcome to introduce themselves to me as well.
Oh, and if you're a JUBber, call me Rational Lunacy.
About the only people I do NOT want to hear from are as follows:
(1)Active Jehovah's Witnesses who send me "nastygrams" about escaping your faith, telling me I'm gonna die at Armageddon, etc. -- Save your breath.
(2)Homophobes. Save your breath.
(3)Not people, but spambots who look like escapees from the Jerry Springer Show, and who insist on bombarding me with friend requests so they can advertise their webcams and other sleazy garbage.
Go ahead....send me that friend request. You know you want to!

In this world the greatest courage is to drop the mind aside. The bravest man is who can see the world without the barrier of the mind, just as it is. It is tremendously different, utterly beautiful. There is nobody who is inferior and there is nobody who is superior -- there are no distinctions. ~Osho~ Wishing you a Fabulous 4TH! Be Happy and Safe... ~Luanne~

Come join my cause: Keystone Progress! You will be able to recruit friends, raise money, and add a profile badge to show your support!
Keystone Progress is a multi-issue progressive advocacy organization that combines cutting edge online organizing and communications with rapid and hard-hitting earned media strategies. Year round, Keystone Progress will work to engage citizens from across Pennsylvania around issues of immediate state or local concern.
Our mission is to provide a strong, credible voice in advancing progressive solutions to critical community problems. But we don’t do that on our own – we work as a communications team for the entire progressive community.
We’re a marketing department for progressive ideas – a campaign that never stops. We work year-round to challenge conservative propaganda in the media and make sure that progressive perspectives are heard.
By working together and uniting around issues important to Pennsylvania residents, we will:
* Build a stronger progressive movement in Pennsylvania. We will use innovative, internet-based organizing and communications strategies and tactics to dramatically expand active public support for progressive issues and policies.
* Secure major advances in progressive public policy.
Working with other progressive groups, we will use the power of real people to encourage bold policy changes
