		<description>Hi Kelvin

I've been reading your blog (not all of it at this time, not yet anyway) and I'm quite touched by the apparent honesty and openness with which you have written about your coming out ... I dont even have the courage to write about that myself on my own blog, and I disguise my sweetheart's name with the character "S" to protect his identity, etc ... Actually if you are out to so many people I guess it doesnt matter i.e. you dont need to "hide here and there" but I am just a little concerned that our largely homophobic society is still very conservative and unable to accept an open declaration of our sexuality ... Nevertheless I applaud you - you have a good writing style that is easy to read and follow, and yet exhibit some depth in your personality and life experience ...
I really enjoyed reading your blog and I hope you continue to write ...
Although I am a Christian, I hope you dont mind me being your friend :-) 
If you are interested, I would like to meet up with you over coffee or tea - I plan also to ask my partner along for subsequent meetings (and it would be great if you can bring your partner along too) but that is if we ever hit it off and continue to be friends ;-) 
Anyway, even if you are not keen its also ok with me - I still just want to say I'm really impressed with your website and all the best! :-D</description>
