From the “we thought this was obvious” dept.

I just read James F. Mills' interview with Dr. Frank Spinelli (“The Doctor is Out,” March 11 issue), specifically that Dr. Spinelli "stresses the importance of having a gay doctor." Here's a suggestion from another gay doctor (myself): a zillion times more important than choosing a gay doctor (unless you're looking for a date), get yourself a good doctor.

Happily Partnered

We would like to thank Michael Kearns for his favorable mention of us in his piece (“Aging With HIV/AIDS,” March 11 issue). As ex-Angelenos we were very much aware of Mr. Kearns' work then and still keep an eye from way out here in the desert.   

Just one minor thing we'd like to point out: We are the 423rd registered domestic partnership with the state of California. We are, therefore, partners, not lovers. The latter term carries a certain panache of being outside the legal, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But, having lived together for so many years as lovers before being allowed partnership, we now very much prefer partners.
