In reading
Broverman's article about the "Gay Curse", I must
admit I was quite surprised to know that I wasn't the only
gay guy on the planet with the same ideas of love and
relationships. As a 21 year old guy, I have found it
impossible to find anyone who is willing to be in a
relationship with me unless I am willing to give it up
within the first week of knowing them. Once they know
I am unwilling to have sex unless we are in a
long-term, monogamous relationship, they run for the hills
and act as if I was a bad person for wanting to be
with the "one".
As a hopeless
romantic who was raised watching old, black and white
movies, I was disheartened to find out that old fashion love
is really dead and those kind of views are a thing of
the past. I understand that with two men it does
change how a relationship works, but I still believe
love is love regardless of gender or sexuality and that gay
men who want more than a fuck buddy or one night stand
should be treated less as a black sheep and more as a
role model for how we, the gay community, should
really act. Maybe we should start a support group, GMG, Gay
Monogamous Group. Finally, I want to say you sound like the
man for me. Maybe we can take in a movie? How's "An
Affair to Remember Sound"?
