3. I am kind of surprised not to see my first girlfriend.

She has been with the north precinct since the 80s.She hit on me when we were both 16 .and we both lost our virginity together one night in july of 1976 behind her house . she left me due to my being more immature than her . when i returned from the service a few years later she was living with a girlfriend . My first experience with a gay couple was spending a night out with them both at a gay bar under i think the marcum bridge off of grand.For some reason i have never had a relationship with someone that didnt turn out to be gay. I seem to be a magnet for lesbians .I think if more people come out then the stigma will receed and bullying might just deminish . I know that even as a young man i found it hard to fault someone i cared about for being themselves .Even though it hurt my pride at the time .
