Who should I PM this to just in case Pro Boards needs to be notified??
I keep getting kicked off Pro-Boards and cannot get back on to ATOP. I end up logging all the way off. It is happening with both Chrome and IE. This issue generally does not happen to me. I am not getting angry bears - I just get a google alert that there is something wrong with the site or it is not available. Other days this week things have been loading really, really, really slow.

This was a comment on the ATTliveproud FB page. Made me tear up. Adam is inspiring so many.
"I'm most likely older than many of the people here, but I feel the need to share a story honoring a very special man. My grandmother shared what was considered the "family scandal" with me a few months ago. My uncle died of AIDS in the late 1980's. Everyone, including my mother and I were told he had cancer. People still did not understand the disease and there was still quite a bit of shame and hostility. My Uncle, Billy Campbell, was a youth minister. An inspiring youth minister. One who touched many peoples' lives. One who saved lives. At his funeral buses of people from other churches and youth groups showed to pay respects. People whose lives he touched from over seas flew in to the country. The most inspiring one that haunted my grandmother was a young woman who showed late one night of the viewing. The young woman was quiet at first, but eventually approached my grandmother, held her hand, and told her that Billy had saved her life. He believed in her and helped her when no one else would. He was there when other people had turned their backs to her. For that the woman said she would be eternally grateful to the family who raised such a loving and caring man. My grandmother never got the woman's name. Evidently, she never signed in. But the woman's sincerity haunted her. My grandmother never knew what exactly he helped her with or saved her from. The conversation leading to this family "confession" was concerning you Adam. She over heard some of your music as I played it one night. I showed her your photo and shared how I believed in and supported the message you tell the world. I told her how I hoped my son (now nine) would eventually be able to live in a world where if people loved each other that was enough. Gender didn't matter. As my Granny cried, she kept telling me over and over she loved him so much but she had to follow his last wishes that no one knew. He was ashamed. He was having a crisis of faith. I wish I could go back in time and just hug my Uncle and tell him one more time how much he inspired me and how much I loved him. It didn't matter if he was gay. He was who he was meant to be - a person. A person who influenced, helped, inspired and even saved lives. Adam, your message inspired an 87 year old woman to share a secret she had been carrying for over 25 years. It helped her realize this wasn't something to hide, but something to help others. Never too late to understand. Never too late to change the someone's life. Never give up being who you are."

I cannot for the life of me understand why people assign a stigma to being gay. My brain is not wired to think otherwise. I feel sad for those who lack compassion and understanding. |

Quick help please - I am in a discussion on another forum about singers who are good technically. It seems an opportune moment to drop in a link to an Adam video! What would you recommend as the best 'one shot at this' video to give someone to demonstrate technique?

Thank you for sharing that Cassie. So moving.
Imagine how many more stories like this we will never know about. Even if the man does nothing more in his life, he has already left an incredible mark on this world.
