Well after spending a day with some friends it dawned on me that life as a gay man doesn't sometimes come across as positive as it should or what life is really like. So today I decided to write it was like to live as a gay man in Sydney.
At the ripe old age of 31 (that is about 421 years in gay years!) I have experienced quite a lot in the gay scene and learning every day. Who knew it would be such an interesting journey! And that is what I plan to write about.
When I was 23 I finally come out to my family and well it didn't surprise anyone! 2 serious relationships and too many dates later I never thought being gay would introduce me to so many varying people. Were the experiences positive?... in retrospect some were and some weren't but it has made me who I am and I don't regret it at all. So with these experiences under my belt and many more to come along the way these will be discussed weekly... well that is the aim.
After I came out there was no one I really could read or hear about who had any positive experiences about being openly gay. Well there wasn't really a gay role model I could refer to and see as some sort of guidance. So for the last 8 years I have been living and learning the numerous nuances of the gay community and hopefully for anyone deciding to come out this will give them a idea of what to expect and hopefully put it in a positive light.
With my blog I will write about my weekly experiences in the hope that for a gay man out there reading this blog (hopefully) it will give them an idea (some good and some bad) of what it is like to be a Gay in the City!
Happy reading...
