Fitting The Gay Scene

This website is getting some responses from all over the world and I'm quite happy about that: this gives my work a sense.
I'm planning to build a page where to collect them all: I'd be glad to know your coming out stories and the way you came to terms with your sexuality.
By the way, I was very pleased to get a message from Damon who briefly summarized his life and told me my entries had raised many questions in his mind. He added that "we are all over this world, living our different lives, in diverse places, all in search of that one thing. Love"
Thanks for your appreciation, Damon, it's so nice to find someone who shares some of my principles and to regain some trust in the gay scene. Same as you, during my childhood I always had a best friend and later on, I perceived I was feeling for guys what straight guys feel about girls.
Some of the things you wrote I could have written myself, I absolutely share it: I'm just missing the optimistic part of your writing 'cause I never found what I wished to. Maybe I've just to hope and wait...
I think it's positive not to fit the gay scene because, you know, I haven't a high opinion of it: these lines are absolutely impartial, as far as I can.
I mean, in this blog I wanna preserve gay people from common biases but nevertheless I don't agree with many behaviors of gay men in general who think sex is a shortcut to love, who live many compromises they suppose to be unavoidable, who even talk to each other using feminine pronouns albeit in a joking way.
I reckon all of this very derogatory and stupid: aren't we discriminated enough? At least couldn't WE avoid to tease OURSELVES?
