I like it being gay. I like knowing there is something very unique and even mysterious about me which separetes me from the rest of the world. I like knowing that I share a special secret with a select group of men and women. I like walking at lifes edge as a pioneer as a individal who must learn for himself the meaning of love,relashinship of equal sexaulity and morality with out blessing from the church or society. My life is one outragrous after another. I like knowing that I can go any where in the world and meet who will smile that knowing smile instantly says yes it's it nice not to be alone?It is a twinkle and a smile which results not from being black or male or catholic or American. It is a secret smile which only gay men and lesbian exchnge. I like to give and receive those smiles at lectures,in department stores at the laundramat and on the street. I like the feeling am not alone. I believing the studies which indicate gay people are generaly smarter, more creative and more sensitive then non gay people.It's makes me feel choosen. I like kowning at a gay men'sdinner party will usually be more elegant that a gay men's orches-trated religious will usually be more artistic and that a gay dance will generally be more fun. I like knowing that there are far less class divison to be found at most gay parties. I get a kick out of knowing that anti-gay people are proberly wearing clothes designed by a gay person,attending a play proformed by a gay person and particapating in a sunday servive celebrited by a gay person. I laugh when I think of anti gay men cheering gays on the football field and learning other sports scores from a gay sports caster. I especially love the thought of anti-gay catholics praying to gay saints. I like being gay for all those reasons and more. Primarily,though I like being gay because it is an essential aspect of who I am.. And I like who I am and myself..>
