as a gay man of course I'm offended by ocenadreamer's coments. Coming from Seattle he should know better. But I have faced ridicule all my life for who I love, i'm not going to let the rants of bigots ruin my day. I have found such love acceptance from so many locals in puna for both me and my partner that I know that love and acceptance is the norm. It is the spirit of aloha that draws us to such a spiritual and wonderful part of the world.
