Stirring up crap???!! You get back in that closet!!!! LOL
First off I've never heard of gay AA meetings. I doubt anyone else on this board ever has either. I don't think that they exist. Secondly, a first time poster comes out with a question to stir some crap up and actually gets good advise from an openly gay DR1 poster and then you accuse him and others of wanting to be like Dr. Phil. I personally want to be like Jerry Springer.
"Stirring up crap" by asking for a gay meeting??!!! Those words should explain why a gay person would want to have their own AA meeting with people of their own sexual orientation.
FYI: there are gay meetings all over the world I'm sure. In Toronto, definitely. 519 Church right in the heart of the Village.
When people are recovering from dependencies they share a lot of private and very personal stories as part of the process in a 12 step recovery program like AA. They often talk about all the harm they did to themselves to their family and/or partner. It's hard enough to be gay in a largely heterosexual world, and then struggle with a dependency, and then have to open up to people who may judge you for your sexual orientation when you all you need is their support and understanding and a safe environment to find yourself again.
Of course there are many people in the world and in AA who don't care what your orientation is but you have a right to surround yourself with people like yourself.
