Hello everyone! ...Atlanta Straight alumni here....

(1/10) > >>

Matt B:
I've been on hiatus from the Straight forums for quite some time now.(I found myself caught up in all those bad ol' memories there for a while, and decided I needed to focus on more positive things.)
I've managed to contact several old commerades from the Hellhole I was in down in Marietta, GA. Ain't the internet dandy?
Anyway, if you were in Straight,Atlanta during the late 80's, chime in just in case we know each other. Or just chime in anyway. ; )

kosmonaut:
Hey Matt, I was there a few years before you, in 84.  Good to hear you're focusing on the positive.  I try to as well but every once in a while it all sneaks up on me again.  To me the cool thing about all these posts is finding out that most people survived and are leading fulfilling lives, when at the time I was in it all seemed so hopeless.

ClayL:
I was there all throughout the '80s. -Clay

Matt B:
Hey, Kausmonaut! Thanks for the reply. It's good to find other Straight survivors that have done well. I have managed alright, but I, like most others, have been forever scarred by that ordeal, and fairly often, still, find myself having to "get over it" again, and again. I am even actually angry that I didn't know then what I know now. I should have copped out and went "straight" to a lawyer's office and sued 'em all for violating my civil rights. But, that was then, this is now. I shouldn't be ranting in this post, anyway.
Good to meet you---it's better we met here than in that hellhole.

Matt B:
Yeah, poor ol' Clay spent damn near all the 80's in Straight. You took it in stride, though, huh? Probably even worked at Mr. Pride Carwash at one time or another. I know I did.
