Counterpoint on FB and social media. I have a friend from Austin days that I didn't know at the time was gay. Just didn't think about it a lot and he wasn't open about it either. We smoked, hung out, generally friendly and when I left we lost contact. I lost contact with most of the people I knew then. It was long before cell phones and I didn't get the landlines to the parents number if they had one to get. An old girlfriend from back then messaged me out of the blue and we hooked up again. It didn't last, but in the process I found out that they had a group on FB. Added a bunch of them and we share memes and shit and it's all good. I see a status that the gay friend I mentioned isn't doing well. In fact it's quite shitty for him, medical issues, money problems. He's stuck out there in Henderson with nothing and nobody. The rest of us fuckers are the only human interaction he gets some days. He's better now, but it's partly a result of the ability to reach a wider audience than the locals. Some folks don't have a real good area for reaching like minded people. Let's face it, East Texas isn't exactly LGBT friendly. If he was suddenly cut off from SM it would isolate him even further. So, yeah it's allowed like-minded Nazis to congregate, but it's also let people stuck in the backwaters of America have a lifeline to the rest of it.
