Yes, we are a gay couple. Carol is spot on with her statement about the stereotypical gay urban male being less than prevalent here. Of course there are some of those, but there is a very different flavor in Puna.
Acceptance of diverse lifestyles, whether they be gay or otherwise, is one of the reasons we came here. After seven years, we have found that most of our friends are heterosexuals who share our values about inclusiveness, community, sustainability, and . . . food. (There are some amazing cooks around here!) We have good gay friends, too, but there doesn't seem to be the division into enclaves that we saw in other places.
