IML: Gay Imperial Owners?

[Tony Lindsey <papatony@xxxxxxx>]

Years, ago, one of the Special Interest Groups for this discussion list 
was the "OIC Rainbows" list.  It was a special "Safe Space" for the gay 
couples and singles among us to "let their hair down" and speak of 
personal stuff in a frank and open way without worrying that folks were 
going to try and shame them for speaking their minds.  They all 
belonged to the main list as well, as loyal and energetic Imperialists!

What ever happened to that list?  There were about fifty households on 
that list when I moved onward to my next project, years ago.

The Online Imperial Club, the Town & Country Registry, the 
Cadillac/LaSalle Club, the Lincoln Continental Owners Club and other 
luxury car clubs have a large proportion of gay couples and singles as 
members.  Retired straight couples, too... Kids can be a very limiting 
factor in the car-collecting/restring hobby.  If it's a choice between 
diapers and education for treasured youngsters versus a new, baby-blue 
pearlescent leather interior for the LeBaron, kids always win, as they 
always, ALWAYS should.  I've raised six foster kids myself, and that's 
part of the reason why my cars never got fully restored.  I'd do it 
again the same way.

If the "OIC Rainbows" list (clever name, huh?) is defunct, and if 
anybody is interested in being members on a revived version, please 
contact me privately at papatony@xxxxxxx and we'll see what we can do 
about it.  I doubt that I'll be hanging around on that list, though.  
I'm pretty scattered and overwhelmed right now.  It may not SEEM like 
it, with all of the stuff I'm posting lately, but my output is about 
one tenth of what it used to be. Keeping up with so many Imperialists 
lately has been a real tonic for me.  I haven't been so moody and 
morose, thanks to the zany and friendly antics of so many cool 
car-freaks!  :->
