Where Are All The Committed Gay Men?
For years now, my gay friend has been complaining about how he can never seem to find a long-term partner on the various gay dating sites he peruses. Every time he meets someone he's interested, it turns out to be a one-night stand at worst or a three-month tryst at best. Oddly, this isn't the first guy who has bemoaned that it's difficult for gay men to find a meaningful relationship. As much as I would like to help, I'm pretty out of touch with the gay community, so I can only work with broad generalizations and stories from my gay friends.
For years I've known this older gay guy and for the first month or so of knowing him, he was constantly hitting on me until he finally got the point that I wasn't interested in dating him, let alone any sort of casual sex. The reason I kept hanging out with him is because he's just such an awesome guy. When he finally got the message, our friendship went on as normal and we really found a connection. He would always tell me about his experiences with guys he met on 
I arrived to work early one day and I had the chance to chat with Marjorie, our 19-year-old lunch lady. We talked mostly about how much we're looking forward to a relaxing weekend until we started talking about our love lives. I talked about how excited I am to bring my girl to what my buddies and I call "videogame night" and she talked about how pissed she is that her lover had canceled their plans to go hiking. I did advise her to dump "him" until she corrected me and said that her lover is actually a girl. It turns out that our beautiful lunch lady is actually a beautiful gay girl.
One of my closest gay friends broke up with his boyfriend last Saturday, so my girlfriend and I spent most of yesterday in his apartment trying to comfort him. I've had friends who have broken up with their partners who were easier to console than this one. It wasn't because they simply grew apart. It wasn't just that his ex cheated on him. It was because his ex only hooked up with him so he could get some of his money while he cheated behind his back. We all knew he was dating a gay hottie, but what we didn't know is that that hottie was actually straight and he used our friend for easy cash.
Anyone reading this may wonder why I would advertise the fact that I had a lesbian girlfriend. It's not exactly something that would seem to reflect positively on me, but that's why I think it's necessary to explain how a situation like this can turn out. Now, I have no idea where she found this girl she ended up being more than friends with, but I don't think it was on a 
The Internet is a pretty useful tool when it comes to finding information on just about everything. Some of the stuff you'll see can be very interesting, some is amusing and there are times when you come across something that's downright confusing. For me, finding a male profile in a 
Life can be very unfair sometimes. I've been putting myself out on the dating scene for quite a while and lately, I have been having more misses than hits. Just like it says in an old country song, the good ones are already taken. It's either that or they're just not interested in men and are more into 
Someone sent me a funny video about a couple of straight guys discovering their hidden gay tendencies the other day and I can't stop laughing even after watching it a couple of times more. It was hilarious and at the same time, it made me think about how much our perception of gay men have changed over the years. Today, the stereotypical effeminate gay man in women's clothes are now outnumbered by gay men, who just look like everyone else. When you take a look at 
I was having a cup of coffee the other day and I can't help but overhear the conversation going on at the next table. It was just some mundane blabbering but what really caught my attention was a prejudicial comment about how can the gay population keeps on growing, even though gay men don't give birth. You and I both know you don't have to be gay to have gay kids. Nevertheless, it got me to thinking about the experience of gay singles looking for love online and the proliferation of 
With the recent elections, there was not only a historic and incredibly groundbreaking race for the Presidency that included the oldest nominee, the first African-American and the first female nominee for Vice-President, there were also several measures that were to be voted upon. One of the most prevalent in the media was Proposition 8, which was the proposition to overturn gay marriage laws in California and other states. Incredibly, the proposition passed and gay love is once again at risk. It's amazing to me that this could happen. Maybe if some of the voting public spent more time at
