Last night while I was working, an older man came into my bar. He was wearing his actual military uniform. With a proud gait and shoulders straight, he walked up to me and asked me for a beer. He didn’t care what kind, so I gave him a good ol’ American beer—Budweiser. He paid for it, looked at me with bright eyes, and said “you don’t know how long I’ve waited to be able to do this.” Click here to read more…

So, I’ve never been stood up.

And that’s not me bragging, that’s just the truth. Sadly enough, I’ve gone on a couple of dates where I wish the guy hadn’t shown up. Like the guy who met me at a bar, already drunk, who spent most of the evening either in the bathroom doing cocaine, or talking to me about how ugly my friends were. You sir, are a douchebag.

As someone who has spent most of his dating life being attracted to men who have absolutely no interest in me, I feel as though I have a wonderful insight into this topic. In fact, I only started seeing the other side of the coin once I became a bartender, and got to experience the multitude of creepy men drooling at the sight of my ass, however small it might be.

If you were told from the beginning of your life that you would never be allowed to get married, and you would never be allowed to have children, how would you live? How would you behave? If you knew you never had a chance at a “normal” life, what would that do to you?

That’s what a gay man (or woman) has had to deal with. The idea of getting happily married and settling down and raising kids has never been something that I even got to consider, because I’ve spent my whole life being told it wasn’t allowed. Click here to read more…

So apparently, for some odd reason, interracial dating is still considered an “issue” in some places. I know, weird, right? I grew up surrounded by people of every different race, class, and sexual orientation, thus, I was always a little perplexed by this concept that a black man and a white woman shouldn’t be together, simply because of the color of their skin. Well, as it turns out it goes a little deeper than skin, though that is quite debatable as well. Click here to read more…

Come on boys make some noise. The better the greenery the better the scenery. You wanna see if they’re real, you gotta make the deal. These are a few of the humorous lines that I remember the Dj spouting off in a strip club that I frequented regularly before I turned twenty-one. What else was a post pubescent male supposed to do as he gingerly climbed the latter of sexual success? Click here to read more…

Naughty naughty little hotty with a body built for sin, does someone have a demon lurking down and from within? I think you do. I mean damn who doesn’t? We’re human beings, we do everything in excess. The way I see it is that to deny our inner voice the courtesy of our physicality is barbaric and I refuse to be apart of that stoic variety of thinking. Click here to read more…

Some say a generation can be defined not by their achievements but by their lack of achievement. Is this true? Does this opinion have merit? Well if you ask me I say that we have to further understand what “achievement” is technically defined as. Some might say that graduating college and becoming a doctor or a lawyer is achievement.

There’s an App for that.

Sometimes I used to laugh at that phrase “there’s someone out there for everyone.” But the older I get, the more I realize how true that is—everyone is someone’s type. Sometimes it’s just harder to find out who you fit with. I’m a fairly oddball, and I know I’m not compatible with a lot of guys—whether it be because of my physical appearance, or my mental state, or my emotional landscape. Click here to read more…

One thing you have to respect about a drunk homosexual at a bar is his brazen straightforwardness. My mother told me once that patience is a virtue—one that I’ve never really embraced. I think that subtlety be a virtue as well, one that many gay men might attempt to learn. And, while I respect an aggressive approach when it comes to getting hit on, when you have a complete disregard for social norms or PERSONAL SPACE, it can come across as, well, incredibly fucking creepy.
