Dear Ronnie
For what it is worth, I have decided to start a “Dear Ronnie” section of my website. I don’t have all the answers, but I certainly have some opinions and a world of experience to back it up. So, ask away my friends . . . no question is off limits, but I will choose the most appropriate ones to respond to publicly via my blog each week.
I look forward to receiving your questions and hope that my humble suggestions and insights will be of value to you as you overcome obstacles and chase your dreams . . .
Warmly,
Ronnie

Dear Ronnie,
There’s this guy I know. He’s drop-dead superstar gorgeous, of course, but he’s more. He’s kind, decent, sincere, and seems to have his act together. A while back, he started a website. It started off well with some of his friends pitching in and posting stuff, but he seems to be neglecting it. He hasn’t posted anything new on the main home page since November 7th — almost two months. The place has some great ideas and some good stuff, but it is going stale. I like the guy. I want to help, but how do I get him motivated to put some energy into his site? He’s the core. I don’t think he understands that letting his name, his brand, be associated with a blah web site is going to hurt him. I want to him to succeed, but more I think he needs to defecate or get off the pot.
I know he can make a success of his site. He can make a success of anything. I think, if he put a good two years of real work into making his place the goto for gay news, social commentary, and cutting edge film news, he could even get subscriptions. Andrew Sullivan just announced his blog is going user supported and I know this guy can do it, too. He just needs a push.
What can I write him? Doesn’t he know how good he is? How special he is? How much his friends and fans support him? Why would he just abandon his web site?
Sincerely,
A Big Fan
what ever happened to Ben DiChiara? Do you two still talk or hang out?
Hi Ronnie!
I hope it’s ok I ask this question cause it’s something I’ve wondered for a while now. I was just wondering, are you by chance ticklish at all? if so where? sorry if that seems weird. lol Again it’s something I’ve kinda been curious about. You also seem like the kind of guy who could do a project that involves your character being tied down and tickled lol Anyway hope this doesn’t make me out as a creeper. lol Hope to hear from you soon!

Ronnie,
I found this website indirectly via Reddit – the bigots in Indiana wanting to exclude gay students from their “traditional prom.” I had high hopes when I saw you wrote an open letter to Diana Medley but was utterly disappointed after reading it.
You have the platform to influence people, something I do not currently have, but if the letter you wrote is an indication of how you will use this platform; then I have no other choice but to renounce your views and hopefully create a platform for myself. I agree with the superficial layer of your message but vehemently disagree with the core of the letter. I understand what you are trying to do, “you can catch more bees with honey than you can with vinegar.” However, a bee does not care if you bring it the best honey in the world, if it sees you as a threat then it’s going to sting the heck out of you.
These ‘Christians’ are obviously the bees. They are great, well not great but at least tolerable, people in their small-close minded communities but in the real world they are some of the worst poison. I’m tired of human rights activists treating these people like they are somehow entitled to treat another person like trash because they live their life according to some racist, bigoted, misogynistic thousands year old book.
I’m glad I ran into your letter because I’ve decided that I can’t use my law degree to merely make money, but to actually fight for human rights. It’s been far too long that people like you give them the benefit of the doubt by telling them, “you can think whatever you want because your entitled (I had no clue that people were entitled to be ignorant) to your opinion.” If you can’t send the correct message than I suppose you should get out of the way. Stop using your influence on kids, by spreading the message that hate and ignorance should be tolerated if it’s a person’s opinion.
Sincerely,
Adam
Dear Ronnie,
In response to your letter to Ms. Medley, I wanted to encourage you to see an unedited version of the interview. I believe the interview, in the way it was edited, was very misleading and inaccurate and took some statements out of context. I understand somewhat the feelings of those who are lashing out because they were mislead. There have been so many untruths spread around. Mrs. Medley is one of the most caring, compassionate and lovable teachers I know. She loves all of her students regardless of their choices. Thank you.

Dear Ronnie

My life is not meant to be lived for itz not worthy enough. Everyday………..everytime……my time is ticking on earth………and soon i will never exist and everything will be well.
Dear Ronnie,
You have been an inspiration to me and for that I wanna say thank you very much for having me being part of the FRIEND Movement. I’m happy that we’re friends. I hope we finally meet one day. My birthday’s coming this Wednesday and I have a lot to think about. I wish in my honor that one day you’ll make a special video for me as a special friend who wanting to say it. Ronnie, best wishes to you and the FRIEND Movement staff.
