I saw some people the other day at the festival I was at. They had big signs with “Free Hugs” written on each of them. I was intrigued. I wanted to go over to them and get a hug or two, but I was too tentative. It made me smile seeing them. Last night I […]

I went to a festival yesterday with a friend.  It was an outdoors type of event - a lot of walking around taking in the beautiful surroundings at the start of spring.  I was happy with myself for organising the trip.  I had asked a few people, but only one friend could make it.  I […]

There is so much talked and written about homosexuality.  The internet is full of comment and opinion about it.  It is a topic that is discussed heatedly with the various viewpoints.  I wonder how an individual who grows up dealing with homosexuality as an aspect of his life can find the information that he requires.  So […]

We went out to a […]

As I’ve mentioned I am a Christian.  I have found limited help and understanding from the church in dealing with homosexuality in my life.  When I was 17 years old, my youth pastor was the first guy that I told that I struggled with SSA.  He was a very inspirational guy, and had created an […]

A very good friend of mine is coming to visit me today.  He’s coming for a week.  I’m very excited - well, I’m trying to let the excitement through.  I learned to curb my excitement as a kid to limited the dissappointment if something I was looking forward to didn’t happen!  So, I’m very excited […]

A lot of people don’t believe that it is possible to change from being heterosexual to homosexual.  In fact, it is seen by many people I know to be offensive to suggest that change is possible.  I don’t wish to offend anyone, but I whole-heartedly believe that change is possible.  I also believe that it […]

I just read an article on the BBC website today called “How ‘gay’ became children’s insult of choice“.  In general the article discusses how children use the term ‘gay’ as an insult.  Of the teachers interviewed 83% said they heard it being used regularly.  I think it is interesting that this term is used so prevalently […]
