SENSITIVE HANDLING OF DIFFICULT SUBJECT

I SUSPECT you'll endure some fire for the decision to continue "For Better Or For Worse" during the story line in which Lawrence reveals to Mike that he is gay.

Thank you for not giving in to it. I began the turbulent process of coming to terms with my orientation when I was Lawrence's age, and it's very heartwarming to see a similar personal journey acknowledged on the comics pages by someone with Ms. Johnston's sensitivity and wit.
