Good evening.Many people ask me why on my post I tag gay. Well it is very simple.I want to keep contact with any gay people here to let them know I am your friend.Do not be ashamed what other people will say here. Most people here are very good.You do have a minority of people making some kind of noise.Just ignored them and continued on what your doing. Or contact the official here.There a a few here who are biased.Does not bother me. I am what I am.I like to meet more.I do have a couple here.But also I know that they are plenty here.But afraid to come forth.Which is fine.They want privacy good. But that is not the way to go. Anyone who attack me as I had a few in my earlier years. I am used to this.So do what you have to do and leave us alone. Now let me go back to my reading here.
John Barrowman as Zaza from La Cage Aux Folles.

I never even noticed until you mentioned it. It really is your business and people have no right questioning you or being rude to you about it. Good for you!!

To be honest, I had never noticed the tag on your posts. I was aware that you are 'gay', but that's none of my business to interfere with. You are a person I converse with from time to time. I'm a grandmother, but I am not defined by only that title.

Exactly how i feel, i am Gay but i also am a son a brother a uncle a cousin and a friend, i will eventually talk some about my experiences as a gay man but really there is so much to talk about i would be limiting myself by just talking about that one side of myself.

I did not know John Barrowman had such a great singing voice! I first saw him on Dr. Who and later in Torchwood then in Arrow. For ages I didn't know he was gay because that doesn't really matter to me if a person is talented as he is. I was surprised when I found out because he's very convincing as a straight person and has obvious chemistry with some women he acts with--or maybe he is just such a good actor that it comes across as that way. Well anyway, good for you for tagging in such a way that people might know that they have a friend here. I know that there are many hostile environments for gay people even though there shouldn't be. Some are just ignorant and refuse to be educated. I'm glad you have put out the welcome mat for those who might need it.

You are who you are and there is nothing wrong with that. I am women and I am proud of that. My best friend in high school was gay. He told me and it went no farther than me. We were good friends and when he married a women I told him it would not last. It did not last. He had a son and when they divorced she gave him coustey of their son because he was a good father. Back than the gays did not come out of the closet. Now you can and at least you and Mike are happy. And my friend and his boy friend are happy. In life being happy together is all that should really matter.
