Thank you Stephan. That is a wonderful compliment. There is beauty all around us if we are willing to pay attention.

You know folks, I have not been on R2R much lately. This is mostly due to changes and busy-ness in my life. I came on just now for whatever reason and was drawn to a highlighted post by @revhtree .

I have no idea what the post was referring to and had nothing to do with whatever the “incident” was. In the post he wrote this:

“Because we are a forum for reefers of all ages, we don't want to have threads that dive into the ins and outs of sexual orientation and gender identity since some of our youngest members aren't likely old enough to understand these issues.“
(link below)

My 13 year old son is transgender. He knew he was a boy since he was 2 years old. He was certainly never too young to understand who he really was. To suggest otherwise offends me.

Yes, this is basically a reefing forum. I always thought it was a lot more. It was to me anyways. I have made friends here that have changed my life. We share more than our reefs on R2R. We stick together and support each other. We laugh and even cry. We do not fear doing this. It is when R2R is at its best.

I have been censored before here. I told myself it is a privately owned site and defended the Rev as having every right to do whatever he wishes. I cannot defend, support or even stomach the above statement. It is ignorant. The fact it was used with such ignorance to support censorship is doubly appalling. Sad thing is, I kind of knew this was how some staff felt and yet I remained here. I won’t make that mistake again.

This post, maybe my whole thread, will be deleted by those who cannot accept, understand or tolerate others who they consider different. That is okay. I expect that. All that matters to me is that my son knows I love and accept him in every way.

I LOVE YOU LOGAN!

@NY_Caveman
Glad to see you love your son no matter what! Epigenetic research is showing us some very interesting things. He is lucky to have you in his corner. Brian I just love all the pictures of you and your family mixed in with the reef tank and the Big Apple. You are a good dad sir!
