“I’ve been following your blog for a while. I think it’s a great thing. I also think of the question – what being gay means to me, I guess I would say, everything and nothing, to be tragic (drama queen!). Now, that being said, I always knew I was gay, so I know not much else. What I see is a photogenic group of people who – well, look nothing like me. I don’t mean that ethnically or anything. But, while I am drawn to your blog, there’s a part of me that feels more excluded. As a self proclaimed well adjusted gay man in his thirties….I guess the gay thing never “clicked” with me or with others. I dream of that domestic life of having kids and settling down. I don’t dream of yachts or trips to Paris. But, I think being gay and not looking like the ideal (read: ugly) has affected me in some way. If i were to tell me story, I guess I’d say I have great friends, a good job, etc. But -I can’t get a date. While single-dom doesn’t affect me too much at that point, I guess I also know there’s something that…just makes me feel excluded. So, there – that’s my story.”
