Savage Love.
Hi Dan, I have always read your columns, which are a mix of advice and humor, I love the idea about "It gets better" However, and I am a 42 y/o gay man living in NYC, attending daily counseling meetings, because for me hasn’t got better. I don’t want to diminish this wonderful project, but what about if it doesn’t get better? what about if you are 40's and still get bully at the streets of NYC, what about within the same Gay community is as cruel and torturing as when I was in school, what about not having a boyfriend, or not social support? English is my second language so I hope this comment makes sense, but I would love to see something in the middle where it gets better but still we as human beings have to struggle with the day to day ups and downs of living as openly gay men. One has to protect ourselves from that hot muscle gay men next to you that will not even share the same space with you or be the recipient of a bitchy joke from a drag performer? I am just saying a balanced campaign can be nice. I have watched the videos several times and in a selfish way, I guess, I wish I found a husband or a nice group of friends that I share my life with, like in the videos, but I haven’t. After I watched them, I went out but the hedonistic- materialistic culture of the NYC/ SF gay life retrieve me back home, maybe I am just haven’t been lucky, I just wish that those kids don’t get their expectations to high to crash to a wall of a very demanding gay community, that's all.
