16. GQP marches under the banner of "freedom!"

Then starts down their list of groups to curtail all freedoms from.
I wish I had the resources to save LGBT youth from sleeping under freeway bridges like I did to spare my own life in 1976.
I wouldn't be here to tell of that had it not been for kindness of strangers that wasn't completely spoiled by the proliferation of homelessness has overwhelmed everywhere now.
Yet part of the PTSD includes the only night I ever seriously considered suicide, hanging myself from that bridge railing in the morning after I arrived in the city from a long hitchhike.
It was Christofascist fuckheads like Abbot who had convinced me I didn't deserve my life. That I was "filthy"beyond forgiveness by the sky spooks. What chance did I have of survival? I saw no way forward... until dawn broke... and a small dog found my hiding place.
I wandered, I met a friend, and that night had a bed to sleep in.
These things don't happen these days, everyone all afraid of each other.
