As you may all know, I am a bus driver. My passengers come from many walks of life but mostly from the working class and lower social classes. I am always amazed at how many men my gaydar picks up when they enter my bus and are confirmed when they exit. Many gay men do not drive. I don't know why this is so, but it is a fact; gay men don't or seldom drive.
Sometimes I get a nod or a wink, sometimes a kind word or a look of recognition. Some I would like to know better but how do I let them know without coming straight out and telling them they have a nice ass or those lips are very kissable. No I wouldn't do that for fear of embarassing them but there must be a way. When I find it I will let you know. maybe I should get a deoderant that smells like a man's spunk and see if there is any reaction. Now I digress.
Anyway, if you get on my bus and like what you see, just say 'Hi, great to see you again, how about coffee one night?' then I am sure you will get my mobile number.

questioning
Recently I became involved with a man who was questioning his sexuality. I have never met this man but we have struck up this relationship through FaceBook. Originally he threatened my life for being gay and for my thoughts in books and blogs I had written. He had a WP (White Power) look on life and a perchace to violence. Many would have had him banned from Facebook for his comments but I felt he needed to have contact and not to be ignored. Now I consider him a good friend, maybe not in his thinking, I don't think that will ever change, but he was a man who needed help and guidence. He was questioning his sexuality and found that although he had girlfriends he could not relate to them.
After 18 months of contact he is now willing to accept he is gay. He is, of course, scared of the repercussions of coming out so we must consider him closeted. I have no dought he will eventually come out but he needs to find a man he loves and the suport of that man to allow himself to be who he really is and the suport for when he is outcaste from his family and friends who are all WP and Nationalistic in their outlook. He is young and he is scared but I admire him because he has finally found himself. He has looked past the teachings and persuations of his upbringing and accepted himself for what he is, a gay man.

Graham Norton
It is so refreshing to watch Graham's show. He hides nothing and shows us that being gay is not taboo. His guests are aware of his leanings and accept him and his many questions in the vain they are asked. I am always in tearflowing laughter when I watch his show and wish more gay men would be as open as he is.
Being gay in this age is not as sinful as it was say even 20 years ago, although in some countries where religion rules the country, there has been a shift to prejudice and discrimination, leading in many cases to inprisonment and to the extreeme, death.
It is guys like Graham who show us that being gay is who you are and to be accepted for that. Thank you Graham for a wonderful show and fantastic entertainment.

Friends
One of the most importand things for a gay man is friends. Lovers come and go, relationships can flounder but friendship lasts eternal. A true friendship will overcome the odd disagreement or politcal difference and friendships without substance will fall be the roadside. If you have just a handfull of really true friends then you are blessed. I count maybe 4 really true friends on my list, but have many 'friends' or aquantences and of course these are important as a balance to your social life but those true friends are what will give you the lifestyle and social acceptance we all desire. Rich or poor, it makes no difference. Of the 4 true friends I have, 2 are fairly wealthy and 2 like myself, scratching for the almighty dollar. Our friendship is based on a need to balance each other, of help to talk things out and overcome those annoying problems you cannot see the problem for the wool over your eyes. You may not take their advise on some occassions but they will still support your decission. That's true friendship.

He needs our support
Julian Assange has gone out on a limb for the world, bringing us the world behind the world leaders decisions. Is this wrong? In the eyes of those affected of course it is, but to us mere mortals it shows us the deviant ways of our elected leaders. We elect these people to represent us not deceive us. Wikki Leaks gave us the truth so why are the Governments so scared about the truth?
