Love must be one of the most powerful forces of nature. It is what helps us making bounds, forming families and lighten up our lives and everybody seeks for it, whether gay or not. Whatever the case may be, love is anything but simple and there have been a lot of theories trying to explain this apparently simple phenomenon that has serious implications in our lives. It took years to break down the essentials that converge in bringing to life...

I am writing this because there is no one that can help me and I have gone through some painful experiences so far. My parents hate me and I ended up hating myself because of my tendencies. They have noticed my homosexual behavior ever since I was little and they have rejected me as their son since then. They seem to believe that I chose this for myself and, despite having an option, I refuse to change. I don’t...

Where we live there are no such things as freedom and happiness. It is all death and suffering and I have found this on my own after my boyfriend received a death sentence simply based on his sexual orientation. You cannot possibly comprehend the pain and suffering that this has caused us and you cannot understand the evil of a society that will deny your basic rights, regardless of your suffering. I have been gay for my entire life, but...

I do not really care how my family is viewed in the society we live in, I am just happy to be raised by two of the most awesome dads in the world. I am Alice, age 16, and I have lived in an orphanage until the age of 4. That is when Lawrence and John, my two present dads adopted me. It was only recently that they have told me about my situation and I am grateful that they...

Love is strange, or maybe I am strange. I regret the life I live because I am away from the woman I love. I hope to make it right someday but now I feel stuck and devastated. I am a mom and a wife. I have a husband and two children, but I love a woman. How did this happen, what have I done wrong and haven’t seen the signs earlier, so I ended up near a man. I figured...

I never thought I will ever end up doing what I did, but then again I guess love is a hell of a complicated thing. I am Rolly, 21 years of age, and I fell in love with an Iranian guy. He came visiting the states about 2 years ago and I knew him through a friend of mine. One thing led to another and he began growing fund of each other. From that it was just a small...

I feel like I have to share this amazing turn my life took lately, because it is something I have never heard anyone go through. I have been straight my entire life and I still think of myself as such, but what happened these last two weeks completely turned my life upside down. I am Ari, 23 and I am currently involved in a gay relationship that didn’t even existed 2 weeks ago. Prior to this, I was in...

I never would have suspected this, but it is all true: my dad is gay. I just found out about a week ago and it left me perplexed. My parents are being together for over 20 years now and they have never had any similar problems so far. I mean I think I would have heard about it. I am 19 years old and my mom always tells me everything but she never mentioned anything like this. I haven’t talked...

Hi, I am Brandon and I am writing this as a gratitude act towards the love of my life Joseph, who gave me a new life and taught me what love is. I didn’t know what it would be like to live in a homophobic and abusive family until I have reached 20 and decided that I should share the fact that I am gay with those around me. I can see now how naïve I have been. I...

This is a question everybody wants to answer whenever they see an 80 years old couple saying that they’ve been together for more than half a century. What’s the secret to a happy marriage? Well, it seems like the secret is not just one, but many. This is a topic that always interested me even since I was too young to actually be relevant. It started interesting me even more after I got in my first relationship and it soon...

I put on another veil, watching myself disappear into the black folds of this confining fabric I hate so much. Knowing that this is another day when I have to pretend to be something I am not. My mother walks into the room, sporting a bruise on her back. It is not the first time. She silently gives me the analgesic and antibiotic creams to apply for her. I ask her calmly what happened again. She said he found...

I am Peter, I am 18 years of age and I would like to tell you what it is like to be raised by a gay couple for your entire life. I have noticed that this is a hot topic and there are a lot of debates on whether gay couples are fit to adopt a child or not. I am here to tell you how that worked out for me so far and you can draw your own...

I am Amanda, I am now 40 years old and I am finally happy. I met my wife Francesca at a conference, five years ago, after I had divorced my husband. I knew since I was a kid that I liked girls. At early ages I was inviting my friends to my place and we would play „husband and wife.” I was the husband, imitating the life of grown-ups. To some point we would mime sexual interaction. I grew up...

So, here I am, 30 years old, thinking I have finally come into my own. Proud that I know myself better than I did when I was younger and fearful. I am so proud that I have calmed that rebellious youth who went seeking trouble to fill in the empty spaces in my soul. And then my brother brings her home. She’s tall, with legs that seem to go on for miles, and one, just one dimple in one cheek....
