I'm not surprised by this at all. If only more people new about this band!
Joey you are an amazing individual and it breaks my heart for all you've had to go through at the hands of insensitive people who have no idea what they are doing. Please know people are on your side and YOU ARE a good person. People at Dorothea Dix and in society in general need to learn about this topic, rather than deal with it with pure ignorance.
