Update on my relative (husband's side) I posted about some time ago, the 20 year old artist, gay, but not openly out to his family, who was attending a really conservative college and felt unsafe there, whose parents would only help support his education if he attended that university? After discussion with him, where I happened to mention that my son set up his whole NYU film school plan, got himself accepted there, and then presented us with his enterprising plan, lol, this kid applied to The Art Center Pasadena School of Design by submitting his portfolio, got accepted, mapped out a plan for himself, took it to his parents, and now he will be attending that school with their support and backing in the fall. And he will be close to me. He is beautiful and talented and I will definitely be taking him with me to an Adam concert this era. I am so proud of him. Just wanted to let those of you who responded to his story know about the fact that he is figuring out how to walk his own walk and is feeling empowered and happy. ETA: Just corrected my iPad autocorrect from toilet to to let, hahahahaha Awww lynne this is so wonderful! You helped a young man find his path !!! Wonderful wonderful!!! :D

Such good news, lynne! I'm so glad that this beautiful young man is finding his way. Bigots are the losers when they fail to appreciate the talents and contributions of those they dismiss because they're different.

Please tell me more. I'm a classical musician and would like to know what you heard and you reactions to it. Funny about the composers' names.
