Troy,
I read your post and can definitely say that you're not alone in the way
you feel. Actually, what you had to say is very valid in many ways and
I'm going to tell you why.
In my life, I spend much of my time trying to educate people,
dismantling negative stereotypes of gays and trying to get the public in
general to think outside of the box and see gays in a more dynamic way.
The irony of the situation is that truthfully, many gays can't think
outside of the box in similar ways. Many within the gay community have a
very narrow, limiting view of what life is and can be as a gay man. This
"gay framework" has been laid down for whatever reason and now
people think it's the norm to be followed and emulated. The problem with
this framework is that it is about as diverse and condusive to personal
growth as spending time at a christian school in the south could be.
That is why you and so many others feel limited in your choices and feel
so aliented from both sides of the story. There's this growing void with
many gays who want more than spending our lives dancing to bad
diva-house in some club, surrounding ourselves with gay cliques,
consuming only gay pop-culture, and on and on with the gay cliches. A
gay "lifestyle" once served its purpose as a way of bringing
people together and creating a sense of community but I believe those
days are numbered. I see the gay community growing and moving on past
that. There's enough acceptance to allow people to grow and become much
more than what the past had to offer. It's all around us. The old notion
of a "gay lifestyle" is dying and for good reason. We're all
individuals and just like any other group, don't fit neatly into a
specific packaging. I just hope you and others realize this and don't
feel so cornered by mainstream gay culture.
There are myriad choices out there, it's just up to you to have the
courage to take that route.
much love,
Danny

Hey Troy...I've got a
question for you...
What does being "straight acting" have to do with coming out?
Alot of people ask that and I'm not sure where or why it matters.
"Courage isn't the lack of fear, but is being afraid and moving
on."
Much love,
Danny

morning kids...just doing
my usual "drive-by". In case you guys haven't noticed, Jenn
has started a new update (my tour schedule has been updated) and I've
also updated communique. Jenn should also be updating the photos
sometime this week as well.
Alex, Je m'excuse pour ce que j'ai dit l'autre jour. J'avais tort et ne
t'ai pas compris.
Hope you guys have an excellent day.

Arthur, why the hell would
I live there. It annoys me that just because i'm gay, people assume that
i'd live in a mostly gay neighborhood. No way. I try to keep my life a
little more diverse than that.

Good
Morning guys...just getting started in this day and am doing my usual
drive-by post check. Just wanted to let you guys know that I don't have a
public email address anymore. At least I don't think I do. You can check
at Bunim-Murray.com and see, but I believe they removed it a while back.
thanks.

man...I
got alot of responses off yesterday's posts and some questions too.
First off...Ty...I wasn't asking whether "American" refers to
the US or Canada, etc...I was STATING that "American" truley
refers to all nations of the Americas, though we in the US often refer to
oursevles as Americans, which technically is wrong, but it's accepted. I
actually learned this while living in Quebec and was corrected every time
I called myself an American. They made me realize that they are in fact
just as much American as I am.
Second off, to Alex, J'ai lu ton post et ma reponse est que je suis pas du
tout "trop gai" pour faire n'importe quoi. Le fait est que mes
amis qui etaient tout couverts en boue sont comletement fous et je voulais
pas jouer avec eux a ce moment la.

Hey, good morning Jhune...
Milan...maybe you will...there's something good to be found everywhere if
you dig hard enough. However, my friends who work there often hate it, but
I've never personally been.

thanks Ty

I hear that Milan is the New Jersey of Italy and not a great place to see.

yes...i went to a few back
in my college days early on when I started exploring the "gay
world". All I found them to be was an empty, pathetic den of sleez
where guys couldn't keep their clothes on or keep their hands off each
other. Being constantly groped isn't my idea of fun.
Bascially, you wont catch me dead near one of those again.

has anyone ever considered
this? To say that "I'm an American" can actually denote that
you're possibly from the US, Canada, or even Mexico and so on. America is
technically the continent and not a country. I was really made to see this
while living in Quebec. When you're out traveling, you sometimes have to
be more specific.

Good morning Stoney and
Rochester...
no one has to refer to themself as "Euro-American"...that term
was written in my Real World Application a a long time ago and that's
where this all started. I was being very specific at the time when I wrote
that and normally wouldn't refer to myself as that either. It's funny how
people can pull things out of context years later and get their underwear
all in a wad.

Alex,
i'm not sure where you're from, but in the US, there's one true group of
people who are "Americans" and that would be native Americans.
My family migrated here from Europe, therefore, that would make me
Euro-American. Just the same as blacks are Afro-Americans, etc.

Euro-American...isn't that
self-explanatory?
It's PC for White.

How's it
going folks...sorry to just drop in like this but I just wanted to say
hello. I've been pretty busy lately with friends being in town and
school/life/etc. Noticed lately that some people have been really cool
about keeping the integrity of this board going and I really wanted to
thank those of you. I also wanted to let you guys know that I'll be
doing an update of my journal page sometime in the next few days and I
promise that. I've been a real slacker in that area lately. Hope you all
have a good night and wake up felling fresh tomorrow. Good Dreams to you
all.
much love,
Danny
