Keeping deathbed Promise was right dear Abby dear Abby i feel compelled to respond to a recent column i which Charles Piper chided you for encouraging a Man to keep his brother s deathbed Promise. The dying Ray had asked his brother to Tell their grandparents that he was Gay. Piper Felt that the brother had no obligation to keep his Promise. I beg to differ. Piper s position was that 1 Ray should have told the grandparents himself and 2 that for the brother to Tell them now would Hurt them. It can Only be perceived As hurting them if one consider being Gay As something shame Ful. Additionally this truth Tell ing was important to a dying Man for him to beg his Brotherto do so. Piper told you that you i disagree. He clearly feels that it is More important to hide Ray s truth than to keep the grandparents Safe in their bigotry. Wrong contrary to Piper you did not blow it Abby. In fact you gave the brother Excel Lent advice. You said at the end Ray wanted his grandparents to know that a person can be decent respectable and lovable and still be that is the Central Issue Here As is the Honor involved in keeping our promises big and Small. Bravo Abby keep up the Good work. Linda in Milwaukee dear Linda thank you Friend. I needed that. There Are still Many people who do not know that being Gay or straight is not a Choice.
