Dilemma

[pinguthegreek]

Some of you on this list will be aware of what I'm about to say, so 
if you are, then skip this. 

A week ago, I sent a really short email in an attempt to contact a 
very close male friend who subsequently became my boyfriend. I knew 
him in the days before I knew the internet even existed. 

I haven't had any contact with him for nearly ten years and I miss 
him. 

However, I never got a reply to the first email, so I sent another 
longer one explaining why I wanted to get back in contact with him. 

Now I am considering contacting his parents to try and track him 
down. The problem is that I know he is gay ( I only found out for 
sure very recently ) and I suspect that his family may have disowned 
him. I don't know what to do next. So if you lot have any advice, I 
would be so grateful. 

All I miss is my friend. I just want to know he's OK.
