Amen to all that.

I love my gay male friends. One of them (who I knew years ago, and am proud to be friends with again) is helping me a bit with learning about being a sub. I probably never would have gone to a dungeon party without knowing its HIS dungeon and that although he is a Dom, I was probably as safe with him, or more so even than with my own loving MAN.

My gay male friends go through a lot just for being gay, and my Dom friend even more.
Fight the good fight, friend! (though it sucks you have to fight!)
