buy land, and build a home together. We are both professionals in our 30's with es- tablished careers, and we have each relied on investment advisers for financial de- cisions. Our planners, however, are as ho- mophobic as they come, and our de- cisions now must consider our joint lives, retirements, estate planning, etc. It is clearly time to find a legitimate brokerl adviser who can handle our lifestyle as, well as our finances. Surely there must be some way to find a gay-aware or gay- focused broker. We decided to turn to Auntie Pearl for some answers. Say you can help. Your loving “nephews”, Ruse and Gordon. Dear Russ and Gordon, Auntie Pearl certainly can help! I'm su- prised you high rollers don't already know about Christopher Street Financial, Inc. Founded in 1981 by gay wall Street professionals, this is a fully registered broker/dealer and investment adviser. The finn's raison d'entre is to provide prudent planning and brokerage services to gay men and lesbians. Auntie has been assured that they offer a safe and open environment for clients to discuss anything they might not want to divulge to a mainstream adviser. Write to them, dear nephews, at 80 Wall Street, New York, NY 10005. Send your questions for Auntie Pearl to Auntie Pearl, PO Box 4156, Burlington, VT, 05406. V Read OITM Monthly 32 N.
