1996 - 1997
"How would I get to meet people like myself?" Being a predominantly Roman Catholic country, society wasn't exactly forgiving of people like me. I didn't drink or smoke so that make going to bars difficult. To complicate things, I was a Seventh-day Adventist and was studying in a boarding school that was like boot camp where everybody knew everyone else.
Then I discovered the World Wide Web. You have to understand that access to the internet was not as widespread as it is now (in the country). I was home only during the weekends and that was the only time I had access to the Web. I started searching for email sites where I could correspond with PLU (People Like Me) and hopefully hook up with them.
I can't remember how many guys I met this way but 2 of them eventually became a couple and are still together. Thats more than 15yrs!
just curious...now that you are totally at peace with who you are, what is your religious stand on being gay?
ReplyDeleteit's okay if that is too personal to answer and you don't feel like replying. i hope the question will not offend you, i'm just curious.
