I think that taken out of content, it meant to say we New Yorkers give the shirts off our back to help those including our shoes and socks thrown in.
The cross dresser thing, don't know if you were kidding, but we might have them here on the list, so please be kind to what you write.
Because we have LGT members with the NFB and some of my closest friends with the NFB are Gay or Lesbian or cross dressers.
