It's not only okay to be gay... It can be great to be gay!

No matter where on earth you live, no matter your race, your religion, your gender, your age, it is always okay to be gay. In fact it is much more than okay to be gay, it's often great to be gay.

This web site is my gift to everyone on the planet. It was created on the 10th anniversary of my own coming out, and at the dawn of this new Millennium.

My goal is to share with gay and straight people everywhere that it is always always, always okay to be gay. "The Truth About Gay People" is a book in progress. Every now and then I'll post another chapter. The goal is to help move the world from false and harmful beliefs to the liberating freedom of truth.


Here's the book's introduction - enjoy!


The day I heard one of the most powerful politicians in the country equate Gay and Lesbian Americans, to kleptomaniacs and alcoholics, I knew it was time for a book like this. I asked myself how someone who is well educated, aware of current events and who makes decisions that effects the lives of millions of people could be so ignorant about gay people. Then I realized that he was not alone. That there are thousands if not millions of people in this world who carry around a set of out dated ill formed beliefs and who if given the chance could come to see the truth.


There is a yearning for the truth. I have found my straight friends and coworkers fascinated and hanging on my every word when I dare to share my truth about being gay. They ask questions out of ignorance that to many a gay person seem silly. But they are the questions so many Americans are afraid to ask.


This book answers all the questions, the silly and the serious. If you are trying to understand someone who is gay this book will help. If you just want to know the truth about gay people here it is. If you fear you are gay, odds are you are gay and there's plenty in this book to help you come to terms with who you've always been. If your son or daughter told you they were gay then handed you this book, welcome to the club. Know that you are not alone. No one book can change the course of history or make the world a perfect place, but the truth is a powerful thing. When we start speaking the truth about gay people magical things can happen and the history of hate and shame can begin to change.


Before you read any further give yourself a pat on the back for having read this far and for being willing to hear the truth. Thank you for opening your mind as you open this book.

Gay People Are Perverted

"It's just not natural, a woman and a woman or a man and a man. Gay people are perverted." How quick we are to criticize what we don't understand. There are in this world gay people who actually feel the same way about heterosexuality. They are repulsed by it. It seems so foreign from who they are that the thought of a man with a woman just doesn't seem natural, and in a way seems perverted.

Both views are equally absurd, yet completely understandable. As human beings, we are most comfortable with people who are most like us. Our definition of normal is based on what feels normal in each of our lives. Foreign cultures, different languages, different races, bring up the same uneasiness that a different sexual orientation can bring up.

Many straight Americans react to the site of two women or two men kissing in much the same way a group of children react to watching Eskimos eat the eyes out of a fish. If they've never seen it before, or considered it to be anything other than abnormal, their reaction is natural. But as we grow up we learn to respect other cultures. We learn that in order to understand another culture or another person, you have to get beyond your rash first judgments. What is unnatural for the American may well be perfectly normal for the average Eskimo. And what is unnatural for the straight person may be perfectly normal for the gay person.

Since the most disturbing images of homosexuality involve the sex act, the repulsed and over reacting straight person ads the term perverted to the entire scenario. The reality is for a straight person participating in something that is so totally foreign, like gay sex, may well be a perversion of the sexual being they really are. But for the gay person, gay sex is the natural expression of their passion and attraction for the same gender.

So, if you're ready to grow up now and believe it:

Loving the same gender is beautiful. Hate is perversion.
