So, What Have I Learned About Relationships?

I tried dating someone older and for a while it was fun. He was mature, thoughtful, understanding, considerate, and let's face it sex was amazing. He had the experience and I had the energy to go extra innings, let's leave it at that. So what ruined it: A simple call to his cell raised a few questions and things just happened from there, you can fill in the blanks. I didn't know he was married to a woman, who he later professed he had no love for, but they had kids. That was a double wha

The Hello Project

I personally believe that the sickness in our society, the one which leads to the upwelling of depression, anxiety, violence, and bigotry, is rooted in the same cause for all symptoms. Terry Pratchett put it bluntly when he said, “Evil begins when you begin to treat people as things.” Others have expressed the same sentiment in different ways. A famous saying, usually attributed to the current Dalai Lama, is “People were created to be loved, and things were created to be used. The reason

Most Memorable Lgbt Short

I saw this around 18-19, when I was surfing the web for gay related items. It was part of a series of Shorts called Boys' Brief 2 from 2002 It still haunts me today at how dark and how tragic this kid's life will eventually become, continuously searching for "him", his abuser through pain and sufferring in a perverse need to be with the same abuser's grasp: http://www.veoh.com/watch/v20430786JdHB7hkx The Director/Creator of the short is now a Director for Game of Thrones Here's m

Question On Sexual Health: Do Not Look If You Are Under 18

GA authors write a lot about LGBT community and we do write about sex, in different degrees, but we have no area in the forum for sex questions or advice due to the possibility of younger kids getting into it and violating site rules. This is probably an innocent health question as it relates to me and my current sexual partner, but I do feel like I have to be discreet about it and will not post it to the general forum, and I will use spoiler tags to add a level of discretion. Here goes

Botanical Garden, Tenerife, Puerto De La Cruz

In 1788, Carlos III of Spain decided that he wanted some of the exotic plants, flowers and trees from his territories in South and Central America brought over to adorn his palace in Madrid. Trouble was the flora needed a stop-off point to become acclimatized to their new environment. The Canary Islands, with their sub-tropical climate, seemed the ideal choice, so Carlos drew up a Royal Decree on August 17th of that year declaring the establishment of an "acclimatization garden" in Puerto de La

Trying To Hang On By My Fingernails

For the past week I’ve been wavering over putting GA on the backburner for the foreseeable future. My mental state is in a total disarray since Rambo bit me and my son had to put him down. Plus, my son has his own mental issues to consider. In effect, we’re both a couple of crazies trying to make do with life. But, I have a series of stories that may save me. One deals with a boy who was sold by his parents into sexual slavery when he was six. Dabeagle helped me a lot with New York State’s p

This video technically has a political agenda at the end, though it is not mentioned throughout. As such, I felt it improper to place it in the standard forums. I also didn't want to put it in The Pit, because I believe it should be a bit more visible. It's very powerful, and I hope you'll give it a view.

All This Bandwidth And I Can't Communicate

You're pissed at him. He's not talking to you. Maybe... just maybe... he is like me. He just doesn't know what to say. He knows the words. He needs to say them but, nobody wants to hear them. I'm closing in on a degree in telecommunications. I know how to make things talk to each other. From two cans and a tight string to super-bandwidth fiber channels. I can move data like a boss. I can connect people across continents. I can upgrade cell towers by replacing a bunch of boards a

Yellowcard Breakup

Brexit is sort of weird and makes you think, but Yellowcard's break up is fucking sad and depressing. I grew up on their tunes from their fun tourhful SoCal melodies in "Ocean Avenue" to their mature tunes in "When you're through with Thinking, Say Yes" and "Southern Air". I am a huge fan of theirs and the fun incorporation of Violins in Rock music. They're leaving a great legacy of awesome music though: This song got me into listening to them: This song makes a lot of sense a

The Year Of Newness

2015 kicked my ass, but I've now come to realize I'm better for it. I lost my job, had very little money, and I could see my relationship of 6 years crumbling. So I did what just about every gay man in his 20s does to cope, and turned to partying and Grindr to help me get away from it all. Predictably, it all ended in disaster that even a blind man could have seen coming. I knew it was coming too, but didn't want to face it. To make a long story short, by Christmas I was single for the first tim

Ever Been A Victim Of Violence?

If you have, you know how much it sucks. You know that your survival isn't guaranteed when you are helpless in the hands of those that have bad intentions. It's happened to me twice as an adult. I pretty much lived with it as a teen. Once was a rather serious beating I took as an 18 year old freshman. There was more too it than that but it was bad enough. The second a few years later. I don't remember that one. I was beaten with a blackjack and suffered a severe concussion. Probably left
