Sorry guys, I fell asleep around 7 PM last night. And of course, my punishment for that is waking up at 2 AM. :laugh:

So anyways ~ Yeah...I have a boyfriend :o :p We've been going out for like, a week, and his name is Brad. And he's younger than me. :eek: :D (Like he's 16 and I'm 17, Junior and Senior; I'm no pervert :laugh: ) But we've known each other for a while.

Being gay, actually, still is not widely accepted in my school. We've got a lot of real pricks here that would probably try and make our lives suck as much as possible, so we try not to show it too much. Most of my friends know I'm gay tho. But that's it. It's still not easy.

I always assumed that it was this way in most CT towns, until I read about a boy from Shelton, CT who was voted Prom Princess for this year. :p I was quite happy when I heard that. :nod:

Aww thanks Justin. :xoxo: PS - We need a hug smilie.

There are a few around here that deserve that resplendent title more than me. :p

Also: A picture of him? I have one, but its an arty black and white one of him wet. :laugh: (PPS - Not what you think. :laugh: ) I can post it if you want tho.

Dan Savage used to talk a lot (well, still does) in his Stranger column (Savage Love, syndicated) about the predominance of gay personal ads seeking "straight-acting" men.

He had a great audio piece in This American Life quite a few years ago. Here is the real Audio link, Savage's piece is Part 4, if you want to skip ahead.

The whole show is called "Sissies"

Yes...out-of-the-shower wet. You pervs. ;) :laugh: It isnt like a "revealing" shot or anything. Just him trying to be "sooo coool" and arty by taking a picture and making it black & white. :laugh: He tries too hard. Seriously. :laugh: :nod:

Here's the incredibly doofy boyfriend. :lol:


He'll be so incredibly embarrassed when I tell him that his mug is all over The Ledge. Like I care. :lol:

Ryan, he's too cute. Way to go :thumbsup:

Beautiful eyes, great smile, and doofy - you scored!
:wavey:

Thanks! I know he is. :D




;)

Teehee. <3 Franz Ferdinand. :]

I'm sure he's seen them. :laugh:

Oh man, he DOES have the best, doofiest smile. And perfect teeth. It makes me sick. :laugh:

I'm going BACK to bed, you guys. Have to try and squeeze one more hour of sleep out. :laugh:

Oh wow Ryan... he's a hottie! :laugh: way to go!

Teehee....I know a few girls that may have a death warrant out for me now. ;) :laugh:

LOL - how did you all meet?

and Congrats!

As hard as it is to be "different" in any way in this world, we should all be nothing but accepting and supportive of our brothers and sisters. It always boggles my mind to see anyone in the glbt community criticize anyone else for being different when that's the very thing glbt communities face and fight every day.

Personally, I don't think I'm different than anyone else, and I despise being though of that way because I happen to be gay....but that's just me :p

Well ****, I'm straight, but I sure hope to god that I'm different from everybody else.
