Disgusting. Violent. Mean. Cruel. Growing up on the countryside I thought that’s all men are or can be. Later in life gay men showed me differently.
Gay men taught me that men can love.
Gay men taught me that men can be good.
Gay men taught me that men can be loyal.
Gay men taught me that men can be soft.
Gay men taught me that men can care.
Gay men taught me that men can cry.
Gay men taught me that men can be pretty.
Gay men taught me that men can be brave.
Gay men taught me that men can be kind.
Gay men taught me that men can be my friends.
To my gay, bi, pan, trans and queer male friends: Thank you. I love you.
