So here we are in rural Vermont. Giving advice to everyone and their brother about gay relationships.
Many gay people who shudder at the thought of living so remotely: 45 minutes to the nearest fortress of box stores -- Wal-Mart, groceries, K-Mart, etc. Many gay people would fear that they would be alone.
Guess what?
Straight people -- single -- or couples -- are alone -- in rural areas.
We have community.
I am on the Fire Department. A volunteer. I am connected and feel support from other people on the Department. They could care less that I am gay.
I am the Town Constable. I am a Lister with the Town. Both are elected positions.
We live on 110 acres of remote forest land. We own a tractor, an excavator, 2 guns, 2 dogs, 2 potbellied pigs and 3 chickens (we had more but they were taken out by a fox this summer).
We have no cable TV or Internet access -- if you want it in our town the only way to get it is through satellite.
I am a vegetarian. My partner is not.
(He smokes cigarettes. I go hiking -- http://hikeswithscott.com)
We struggle -- like anyone struggles in this world today -- but we are happy.
Isn't that all we can expect out of life?
I hope you are happy.
If you are not, give me a call at 802-380-1026 and lets talk about how you can get your bearings and get going!
