I’m From Cava dei Tirreni, Salerno, Italy.

Tuesday May 5, 2009

I’ve never told my whole family that I was gay. But when I met my first boyfriend, probably the only one that I’ve loved (so far), I was completely happy. I called my sister to share my happiness. When I told her, it was one of the best days of my life hearing the same happiness from her, without any pain or prejudice or sadness.

Thank you, Lucy, I’ll love you forever.

A close (and closeted) high school friend of mine decided we should visit the "Florentine" Night Club; the premiere, and only, gay bar in our conservative city of Shreveport, Louisiana. Due to my size, I appeared to be of legal drinking age of [...]
