&lt;p&gt;      A warm hello...I live in a rural community in southern Oregon where I have an art studio on the edge of wi-fi. &amp;nbsp;This is my basic connection to the outside world for now. &amp;nbsp;I was outed here years ago and although I enjoy a certain amount of friends and respect, for the most part people tend to avoid me. &amp;nbsp;Typical behavior, such as, men won&amp;#39;t talk to me out the fear they&amp;#39;ll be seen with me, or when I do connect with a male friend, his partner or wife will almost immediately eclipse the situation by getting in between us or verbally interrupting our conversation and pulling him away. Or I&amp;#39;ll stand alone at community gatherings while new age hippies flit around basking in what they call the Age of Aquarius. &amp;nbsp;I am used to this. &amp;nbsp;So much so, I forgot it was a problem for me. &amp;nbsp;Also, the occaissional straight guy will ask me for an experience, and although I commend them for being brave and curious, it still ends up being something that NOBODY can know about, they stay safe wrapped in hetero acceptance. &amp;nbsp;My point here is not to complain about what is but to verbalize my growing need to rock the boat! &amp;nbsp;I&amp;#39;ve grown weary of the on-line dating sites, these closeted men have no clue, yet they need to be with men so badly! &amp;nbsp;Men have got to get together for mutual love and acceptance, take it from a homo! &amp;nbsp;Any ideas on how we can blast conventional sexuality back into the inherent cosmic force of expressive love that it is? &amp;nbsp;You ever wonder what drives your lust for men? I&amp;#39;d like to see a world where love between men is never denied. &amp;nbsp;I wish I could save that Iranian man from the death squads. &amp;nbsp;Imagine being hunted for loving. &amp;nbsp;What can we do? &lt;/p&gt;
