Gay: I'm proud of myself...

So in playing with various guys on the meat market sites, I've learned quite a bit about myself. Not only do I think I have an addiction (it's sad but true) it's dawned on me that I'm lucky.

I came out when I was young(er.) So many older guys I've run across aren't out to themselves or their co-workers or friends. They've spent their whole lives in one persona and now can't break free of that to be themselves.

So they end up sneaking around, meeting guys (like me) on the internet in hopes of hooking up or other equally fun (yet inane) encounters.

While I'm not carrying a rainbow flag or shouting my love for men across the rooftops, there has to be something said about openly admiring the male form and having others know that when I compliment a woman on their attire, it is justified with no ulterior motives.

I feel especially bad for those men and women who are in the closet, older, AND have children...wow. I could only imagine how that must feel. Feeling that you'll somehow "screw your kid up" is a gargantuan pressure all its own.

So go Bip2! You've made leaps and strides some people will only dream of in their lifetime. And for that, I am proud!
