We grow up believing that in order to be happy, we need to belong somewhere – a society, a country, a social circle and finally, a family.. Yes that's a broad statement and one I don't often make. For me it's partly true. For me here's the hard part. The youngest of five children, I am the tallest and the only gay one. Until my family aged I was the only one with a life challenging condition :HIV.
Leaving the cocoon of a close family to live in Southern Florida eight years ago set me farther apart. I felt a NEED to seek out others like me: a man of faith queer and such.
Here I am on a Thursday evening, television off and alone and I'm OK with that.
Happy with my sence of self is where I belong at this moment.
Where do you fit in in all of your challenges and changes?
