I was attempting to join you all for Bonnie’s One Woman Show tonight, however the Theater is completely sold out for both Friday and Saturdays performances. Congratulations!!! On your review in the LA Times. It is just the beginning. Jack (Had I known Jack needed tickets I would have brought in chairs, Jack you're AMAZING, Bonnie)
My dear Bonnie,
Congratulations on a successful event. Girl, you were just fabulous, I have never seen such acting. My dear you are truly destined for greatness. I could hardly believe that one person could evoke such emotions. You gave us an event which will be long remembered.
Thank you for the opportunity to participate. You made us all proud. I am most sorry that it was not covered by the media which should have happened, but possibly there is some grace even in that, at any rate you are on your way to stardom, I can see it and feel it, with or without.
Your Mother really worked hard to show the community her beautiful daughter and baby you sure made us proud.
I wanted to drop you a note to tell you how much you are appreciated and thank you for allowing me to have a little part in this wonderful event. You are a special and wonderful lady. Thanks for giving me a glimpse into what makes greatness.
Love Rebecca

In 2002, shortly after our sell-out performances in San Diego, CA, I was diagnosed with a large mass and my left kidney had to be removed. I want you to know your beautiful letters, recorded and written regarding our 1999, 2000 and 2002 shows gave me the strength, and inspiration I needed to keep going. Thank you for telling your friends and family about our show, and thank you for asking us to bring it back to the stage. Which, we did in 2005 -- Good lookin out God, thanks for loving me through all challenges and carrying me when necessary. And still more letters came. I want you to know your words touched me in ways I longed to be touched as a child and young woman, lovingly. Wishing You the Best Life has to Offer, Love Always Bonnie

Bonnie,
About your play… I completely loved. It was so well written, so well-acted, entertaining, sad, funny but most of all informative. Growing up in a conservative household, I was always taught to respect other people and treat them the way I would want to be treated. This must-have meant most people and not all because being mean to homosexuals was always acceptable. I'm not going to make myself out to be something I'm not or wasn’t. I was just like most other “breeder” men. I even got caught up in all the gossip at work at one time. (always talking about who might be gay and why we thought so) I'm not proud of this at all. The saddest part about it all is that I had a gay brother who died in 1987 of AIDS. And I still took part in those horrible rumors making talks with other people. I always tried to deny the fact that my brother was gay nor would I let myself believe it. He was my brother, he couldn’t be gay. I watched him die slowly in a house where everyone was afraid to talk about what was going on. The silence at the dinner table was hell. My other brother and I shared a room. One night we were talking in our beds with the lights out when we heard him go into the restroom. He was throwing up for a long time. we both were silent and neither one got up to see if he was alright. We just sat there listening till we fell asleep. I feel so guilty to this day.
Till the night I saw your play, I never thought about how he felt. I never thought about hardships he went through day to day. All the friends,loves and experiences he could never share out of fear of someone finding out his secret. I've been so unfair for so long and your play really made me think about it. I can't believe the hardships you faced. It must have been pretty hard for my brother as well. I really enjoyed the play Bonnie. I know others went home thinking just the way I did. You would really have to be a cold s.o.b. to take all that in and still not care. You are extremely talented(and very fair) I'm not a very good writer but I hope this letter gives you some idea of how if affected me personally. Thank you for the experience and for a reason to be more open minded.
p.s. I think what your doing is wonderful!
E.
I heard that your play was the SHIT!
Diane

A Timex ain't got nothing on the LGBT Community,
We've taken a lickin and we keep on tickin. We have withstood the test of time throughout the beginning of time, and we’ll be here until the end of it. I thank God for
my Ancestors that paved the way. You endured being called got-damn dyke, punk,
bull-dagger, and faggot, to name a few; as if those names appeared on your birth certificates. Risking, and sometimes losing your life for the right to live your life the way it was meant to be lived, proudly, and lovingly. Because of you we
have more Human Rights. Because of you I was able to stage this show.
With everlasting love, respect and thanks, Bonnie

Don't allow anyone to make you feel ashamed of a loved one because they are a different color, religion or
because of who they Love. We were Born to Love!
