Yep, I'm gay. I've known it all my life, and have been comfortably out of the closet to most people since my freshmen year of college in 1980 (and, finally, to my parents since 1993). As I discussed above, I felt set apart from other folk from a very early age, quite keenly. My attraction to other men, then, was just one more difference among many, and accepting it as a natural, normal part of my being was never particularly difficult.

Since early summer of 2003, I've been dating someone very seriously; Jeff, my boyfriend, has his own online presence by way of a journal entitled Rebel Prince.
