Supporters

Besides police and film/TV people, there have been musicians, professional sports teams or athletes, and business owners--of small and large businesses--supporting the gay rights project. And if they didn't provide financial contributions, business owners have shown "moral support." [Some athletes or teams have sponsored movies.] If people keep their eyes open around them, they may start to understand more!

They Told Me to Take Notes!

In about 2003, I received prompting from some of my sources to take notes on some TV shows and movies. So, I began doing that. When I spoke to people I knew later, I told them I was "doing research." I guess some people weren't impressed!? It was a joke to them? A Canadian movie, "Zeyda and the Hitman," 2004, filmed in Winnipeg, Manitoba, showed a young man who wanted to become an actor. He was a sloppy and lazy "couch potato" who liked watching TV; and he said he was "doing research!" Anyway, that wasn't the way I did my research! And I still have some notes; and I've done a lot more research--from TV and elsewhere--since then. [Just in case anyone wonders where I get my information from!?] {The above film was sold as "Running with the Hitman" in the USA.} For the record, I was also doing a lot of writing for other people besides taking my own notes.

The Scottish

It's not enough to let the Irish--and friends--work things out for themselves!? The Scottish--some of them--had to get involved; and they'd prefer to shut things down? I don't know, it seems to me something is wrong here! [It's not a recent development.] *** I'm at a point now where I may have to fold my hands and say, "I'm done." I can't continue in the way I've been going. Lawsuits aren't worthwhile because they'd take another 5-10 years out of my life! *** I wish everyone could see all the police who are involved and what their activities are!

A Doctor and A Lawyer [--Maybe a Cop]

If it's not enough that the "Doc Hollywood" doctor has been pretty much allowed to do what he's wanted to this far, he and/or his local police friends in Whitby or other officials have taken it on themselves to speak to my lawyer behind my back, also! It's obvious because my lawyer and I have discussed this doctor; and the doctor's views seem to prevail--even though he's not directly involved in my care at the hospital or in the hospital records, that I know of! And why would my lawyer first tell me, "You and [the doctor] should get along just fine [since you're both working on gay rights]!?" And after I explained there are different views possible; and I gave some other opinions about the doctor, my lawyer told me at the following appointment that, "[The doctor] doesn't want to support gay rights any more than you do!"--And it was again somewhat presumptuous to say that.--If I'm not completely for the cause, it doesn't mean I'm completely against it either! It's been typical of some parties involved that if they didn't get their way, they were ready to "Throw the baby out with the bath water." They'll sweep everything under a carpet and pretend nothing has been going on! And they expect me to do the same!? Someone has referred to the gay rights project as a "millionaires' hobby" in the recent past. The civilian advisors are highly-educated and successful, professional people. But what about the rest of us--and screenwriters, not to mention other filmmakers? Are we going to roll over because the "heat" is getting too uncomfortable for some who are obstinate and skeptical? No, I don't think so! *** The clincher is that if I made some sexual comments--even for a joke--after I was provoked--over 11 years ago, some people want to say, "Why don't you be a good, little woman and go along with the normal business these men are doing?" Should I have to put up with this--any more??? *** It's the usual policy of my lawyer in this matter to follow the instructions of his clients. They have a choice in certain parts of the ordinary processes. But I'm almost wondering if I'll get a fair chance--and I'll certainly have to speak up at the hearing, if necessary! [I was already ripped off by a Legal Aid lawyer in my first criminal trial; and I don't plan to let it happen again! If my lawyer doesn't serve me, I'll fire him!]
