Relationships
Sunshine under the Rainbow
Being "gay" was grounds for damnation in the community and church that I grew up in as a little boy. The thought of the word would mentally transport you to a deep dark place of fire and brimstone or gloom and doom with a final resting place in the pits of hell. My parents were never vocal on the issue directly as right, wrong or indifferent, however, I can remember the preacher in the pulpit quoting the scriptures of abomination against God and the kids in the neighborhood being outright hateful towards anyone that was “that way”. By the time I was a teenage boy, I fit well in the category of homophobic and there was nothing you could do to change my views or convince me to want to have anything to do with this “those people”.

I think about Sex with Women all the Time
I have written about coming out as bisexual a few times, however, one thing I have not talked about is the fact that I think about sex with women all the time, even when my husband is with me. When I discuss this with others, they think it means I'm unhappy in my marraige. I'm writing this today, because I want to be open about that, and I also want to make clear that no, I am not unhappy, and no I am not a cheat either!

Why It’s Time For Couples To Get Off Tinder and Leave Bisexual Women Alone
I once wrote a song called Swipe Forever, about what it’s like to date as a bisexual, and it’s been stuck in my head for weeks now, because a) I’m a narcissist who loves their own music b) I’m attempting to date again and once again, I am having the WORST time.

How I feel about my first LGBTQ show
When one of my friends from my high school told me of this girl who might be interested in a relationship—maybe interested in me, I was freaking out. I remember when my dad brought me to that gas station to meet up with her and our mutual friend.

In and Out: TWD "Love Edition"
It’s been a while since I posted a new entry. I’ve been contemplating on where and how I wanted to start this thing off. I’m scatterbrained and my ideas don’t always come in order so I may as well just go with the flow. I wanted to talk about the thing I’ve been avoiding for the past year. Love. I used to think of myself as a hopeless romantic but lately I haven’t been in the mood for such blind love. My last relationship ended in disaster and may have been the worst trauma I’ve dealt with aside from the passing of my brother. I don’t even enjoy watching romantic movies anymore, thinking it’s all fake and superficial. Do I want to be alone forever, No! That’s the sad part. We need companionship. It’s a basic human need. And I would love to find my soulmate. Sometimes I wonder if I already met them and missed my chance.
