I watched with great interest, a sense of helplessness and profound sadness as I watched my friend Kevin struggle with his homosexuality.
I had two best friends as a child. Paul and I were both straight boys and it was assumed that Kevin was as well. It was a naive thought, but we were too caught up in playing video-games, filming home movies and building tiny boats to race in the stream across the street from Paul's house to care about whether one of us might prefer boys.
We were all very tolerant teenagers and were one of us to be gay, it would have taken but a moment to process it and continue on with our lives. It was a time where I was still of the mind that all people were inherently good and kind and should someone ever hate or fear another for who they feel and love for, they would most certainly turn out to be the Great Exception, existing only for the fact that the rest of us could identify with what we were not.
Lately, I can hear about how gay some of the gay people can be. I know, apparently what I say sounds odd, but if you read this article you will understand what I mean.
I was having a coffee with a friend these days and we both thought that the she-bartender was a nut case; therefore the coffee was too bitter. Nevertheless, we started a bit of gossiping time, and while we were talking away about a mutual acquaintance, it came out of my mouth, as if by instinct: "he’s too gay!"
Winter is really making its way to our land. Temperatures have dropped below zero, there are only dregs of leaves left around; heavy winter clothes are being taken out of wardrobes. These are the outside signs. With the changes outside, some changes occur within my own soul. I think I've got... the winter blues.
Everyone in London shares flats and accommodation - not only is it the more economical option to staying in an expensive city, but it also is best for the social among us. Finding the perfect flatmate can be daunting, and London's rental market is notoriously cut-throat.
Now, for the first time ever, Speedflatmating is hosting an exclusively LGBT and LGBT-friendly event in one of London's most popular gay clubs. The lush Shadow Lounge at the Soho Members Club offers the perfect setting for the chance to meet between 75 - 100 potential flatmates that live within London's Zones 1 and 2 - as well as a great start to a night on the town!
Loneliness carves into your soul
I have many phobias and interiorized fears that I seldom share with others surrounding me. Actually, I don`t even know why I`m writing this post, since I usually right about LGBT issues and debate on certain topics. I guess I just felt the need to share this with you, my readers. Anyways, one of these phobias is hypochondria, hypochondria has been taken over me for the past year but finally I managed to defeat it. I`m a tough *****, lol. However, besides my hypochondria, the "supreme fear" is related to loneliness. These devouring little monsters, hypochondria and loneliness, often cause me depressions. Deep ones.
I believe that a life without having somebody to keep you warm at night, to kiss you in the morning and tell you how beautiful you are, isn`t worth living. A lonely life is a wasted one, in my opinion. Love is the essence of life, as many people say, and I think they`re right. When having a relationship, people change. Some of them show their best parts and you can almost feel the beauty of their souls, while others do exactly the opposite. It`s related to the diversity of the world we`re living in.

Next week, En.DarkQ will be five months old. This gay blog was born on April this year, and since then it has been continuously growing. To be honest, I didn`t expect it to become popular and visible so fast, but since it did and I`m so proud it it, I was thinking about sharing some ideas which will be very useful for everybody who thinks about starting his or her own gay blog. So, I shall pinpoint some of the most important tips:
1. Daily posted, fresh content. This is definitely the key to a successful gay blog. Why posting articles daily? Well, because this way Google will get used to your gay blog and your pages will be instantly indexed after a while. Besides this, when you will get to have a couple hundred readers each day, you`ll need to make them come back to your gay blog and read some more, so the only way to do this is to come up with fresh, catchy articles.
P.S.: make sure you`ll never write an article in such a way you don`t leave some room for those who`d like to comment. Try to be open to new ideas, and let others express themselves. Comments are very useful, too, and so is positive feedback.
Definitely a reason to be jealous! Photo Taken From: http://fruitfly.wordpress.com
I have always seen jealousy as a love proof, and you gotta admit that men who are slightly jealous can be a total turn on! Well, being jealous can mean that you love somebody up to a point, because everything`s gotta have its limits, and we all know that control freaks don`t express their love this way. However, I`ve seen that there are three types of people in this world, regardless if they`re straight, gay, lesbian or bisexual:
1. Gay, lesbian and straight people who are not jealous at all. Basically, these people trust their life partners 100% and are not the type of persons who call you three times an hour just to see where are you or with whom. They trust you and don`t ask you "where have you been all afternoon". It`s in some of use`s nature not to be jealous, and I talked to people who told me they simply can`t be jealous, even if they have reasons to be.
