Others have articulated up what attracted THIS gay guy to La Joni. Wrote Jerry: her intelligence, her perseverance, her beauty, her, her originality, her stunning talent.
Wrote: Lori: her confessional writing, her nonjudgmental outlook. Wrote Chris: her talk of love. Wrote Andrew: her honesty, her joy, her recognition and articulation of sadness, her celebration of life and learning, her understanding and creation of art. I would add: some of us gay types have exquisite TASTE! ;-) MICHAEL in Toronto P.S. I have to agree with Andrew: most gay people I know are either indifferent to Joni or openly contemptuous -- just like most straight people I know. (sigh) As always, I'm convinced that those of us who love her so much (male of female, gay or straight, white or black or any other colour) are simply more highly evolved. ;-)
