Part 8. Phoenix, AZ
Arizona. How many times have I mentioned I hate deserts on this blog? And yet, I keep ending up in them. I will say this, there is something actually magical about a desert (can’t believe I said that). It strips you of any self-resilience. Strength doesn’t matter. Money can’t buy you anything.

I’ve lied awake in someone else’s bed, wishing I was in my bed, trying to remember what the guys name was,…

Ten Things Every Gay Man Wishes Straight People Knew…
Ten things every gay man wishes straight people knew… There is no “gay agenda” meeting – We’re not trying to make your kids gay or your wife a lesbian. We do want our love to have a level of normalcy. We also know how hard it was to feel “othered” growing up and don’t want…

Chapter 2 | Your Homosexuality Was Made Possible By…
Recently, my family and I had an inspiring family meeting, instigated by our current pastor. All of us texted the man, asking, “Why are we meeting? What did you have in mind to talk about?” The only response I received was, “Just be very open and honest. That’s all I ask of you tonight.” As…
