Love that dared not speak its name

TREATED like a leper, we still hear. When I was in the Senate, I was advised by a constituent not to be unkind, again to lepers. I considered myself told. Lesson learned, on being considerate.

A leper was our exquisite sword maker in our youth in Pasig. He lived in a kubol in the bukid and had a wife and daughter who did not have the handicap or shortcoming. Not contagious, from where my barkada and I sat. We frequented their kubo in the bukid. Ang babait.
