Gay people can really be a lonely bunch. Although tolerated, the stigma attached to being gay can be the source of many disputes. People can be callous and nasty. Through it all, I’ve kept my peace. Most of my gay friends would rather keep their relationships in the closets rather than flaunt it. Don’t ask and they won’t tell. Sad but true. My straight friends have accepted me for what I am. In fact, my (ex) partners have been so much a part of our intertwining lives that we don’t even discuss such peculiarity. It’s just the way it is. Like any relationship, there are highs and lows. There are quarrels, both petty and of great magnitude. The learnings abound – in fact, it’s continuing and never ending. I don’t talk about it but when I’m asked, I usually tell. It’s a pity some most of my gay friends prefer to stay in the dark and hide. What’s there to keep? You’ll always find skeletons in your closet. That’s more troublesome.

I have always been proud of you from the many gay friends I have that are out in the open, proud and loud! Happy na! Gay pa! parade=) lol What I like most about you is that you are an accomplished person, respected leader, professional, businessman, project consultant, supportive brother, uncle, friend and from time to time broken hearted which almost makes me feel you’re in fact after all human…lol You are the epitome of what a gay person should be. To me you’re straight in your views and opinions in life be it political and social. I am always proud of your bravery with your remarks. If a lot of gays would just be like you THEN maybe there’ll be no reason to be afraid in coming out! You should be an inspiration to others who are still in the closet even PJ!…lol Mabuhay ka Kuya O!
