Anya Kamenetz cites three reasons young gays today are financially stretched ["Indebted Youth.Anya Kamenetz cites three reasons young gays today are financially stretched ["Indebted Youth," March 28] and common of those reasons is the charge of paying pensions to the generation of baby boomer now retiring. It's conformable to fact to say that our retirements will use national resources, yet don't forget that we are also a resource. Many of us went straight to work from institute and did not go to association or university; we paid more taxes above our working lives and helped finance the college edifice [i]or[/i] building and university educations of following generations. Those prosperous gay businesses and organizations you papal court today are largely there because we paid for them. I was saddened by dint of Anya's inability to see us not no other than as a cost but also as an asset. We may be retired, moreover we are still here and contributing.
