Oh Yes, It's My Gayaversary!

11 years ago. I'm getting old.

Of course I've been gay all my life, I know that and knew that even in '98. But accepting I was gay, that was a bit more difficult. Well it was until I got the hots for someone!

I won't lie, when I was a teenager I used to wish I wasn't gay. Not because I wanted to get married or lead a "normal" life. But because I didn't want the hassle. And I'm not talking about homophobia. Being gay just makes interactions all a little more tricky.

But being gay is something I love and wouldn't give up now for anything. I love men. I like the different perspective being gay gives me on the world. Being straight would mean a life without Jim, my best friend as well as my boyfriend. That would be truly awful.

I sometimes wonder what straight Jae would be like. Perhaps he is out there, in some other dimension. Wouldn't it be interesting to meet him? Nah... he'd probably vote Tory.

Is It My Gayaversary Tomorrow Or Thursday?

1998. 10.25am. Just after Media Studies. I saw HIM. The Sixth Former. That's when I made my decision to accept, embrace and nurture my sexuality rather than continue to despise and fight it. My diary from the time is long lost, thrown out in a teenage fit of depression (I think that was just after my Mum found it). So the question is... is my 11th gayaversary tomorrow or Thursday??

I know it was either a Tuesday or Thursday of that week (as that's when I had Media Studies) and I thus know it was either the 24th or 26th.. but other than that? Nothing... and I'm the sort of person to whom dates are so important, so it sorta annoys me...

Let's just say it's the 26th. 11 years of gay Jae. Happy times. Here's to 11 more (and some, if I'm lucky!)
