I am Not Like You Even If I am Like You

A chunk of their young lives, their nights, was spent in gay chatrooms looking for the next big hook-up. To me, it seems like a way of growing up. They addressed, managed, satisfied their sexuality by joining a community, night after night, meeting people, making friends, finding sex. They got themselves out there.

Kindred

I never had any gay friends in HS nor in college. When I started working, I met some gay folks around the workplace, had flings with a couple of them, and I met some gay folks too outside work but have never really hang out with them that can define a budding friendship. My other housemate is gay who has a boyfriend, both of whom I go out with sometimes but that's just it. I deal with my own gay life. I date people without the housemate's knowledge or moreso him knowing I bring boys at home from time to time. I deal with my own heartaches and frustrations in this so-called gay life. Sometimes I feel lonely, but never sad. My girlfriends are usually there to listen to my latest escapades or dates or whathaveyou and sometimes the loneliness keeps on increasing on every story I tell them. They squirm, they laugh at my absurdity, they give sad looks on their faces, and they sometimes just listen to my stories without any reaction, perhaps bored. I dont know why Im telling this but somehow I can relate to your story. If you dont feel lonely at times, that's really something---because I do...

Someone else to catch this drift..."
