You waited too long.

So the awesome first-time hookup I had a couple weeks ago won't return calls or email. Does this ever NOT happen with gays?

btw he did email me back the first time, saying "hey I don't feel like dating but let's hang out and be FBs." Then he went to New Jersey, apparently, and fell silent.

what do I bring to a gay housewarming in NJ? At minimum I need the name of a not-crazy-expensive wine that will gain me plaudits.

hi gays/happy summer

just got back last night from a SF/big sur trip with bf. he lived in SF for a decade so i got to meet a bunch of his really close friends and ate a lot of delicious food and went camping for the first time ever(!) and went to these insane baths overlooking the coast

we've only been "official" for ~four months but this feels really special, to me

Hi guys! Last night I hung out with Tabes and his bf and their friend and we went to a very crowded queer party. I left the place with a cute 19-year old and made out and swapped bjs with him on the not-as-secluded-as-we-thought roof of a garage while we got covered in mud and his sister periodically interrupted to call him a slut. I lost my socks!

In what capacity do you have to be at pride to have attended it? Meaning, I've been in Toronto as its happening, seen bits of parades and even once got a porn star's autograph while shopping on Church St, but I still never really feel like I've BEEN to Pride in an actual participating kinda way.

Since my bf has been out of town (like, all bloody year) I've lost touch with his circle of friends, who are the ones in my life that, like, "go dancing" and "drink beers". I'll call them up when I get bored and want to have a night out, but it still feels like I'm having to introduce myself to them, after ten years of knowing everybody

i was thrilled to introduce my friends to my guy, and i'm pretty sure his friends like me too (i've met most of the ones who live here and in SF). maybe this sounds weird but i honestly wouldn't want to date someone my friends didn't like

Well, I hope that's the broadest judgement I read today. I can only think of one such example that I've found 'repellent', most of the other examples are like "cool you have kids now, that's awesome" or "you made the right decision when you moved with your boyfriend to the country, I will come and visit you"

last night i talked him into joining us as this awesome loft afterparty thing with jacques greene and mykki blanco and folks (although the cops busted it before physical therapy's set, sigh) but he came and he was dancing (!) and apparently I have a boyfriend who is 'social' now. this is the life.

I went to see Elite Gymnastics and Grimes last night. I got there early because lol I don't know what time shows start any more, and had a bunch of glasses of wine with the 50s-ish gay bartender at Lee's. He talked a lot about Genet! I talked a lot about Mishima. We fantasized about moving to Portugal. After the second glass of wine met the anti-biotics I started feeling Really Really Loopy. I sat through half of Elite Gymnastics set and then... I don't remember! I was feeling really loopy. I checked my phone this morning and apparently, on my way home, I convinced my bf and my best female friend to have a child together. (This is a common theme for me when I'm drunk, playing "who can we knock up"). I also texted my bf that "the opening band kinda sucked" and he said "sucks is a popular genre these days" ha ha.
