Let me first say, I'm a fan of Fab Magazine, a Toronto based gay scene magazine. But the current issue made my skin crawl. As a proud gay man one of my goals is to one day be a father through adoption. In this issue, writter Ted Flett, compares the wants of the gay community from past to present. It's seems, according to Ted, it seems gay men are only concerned with Sex, Drugs and Dancefloors.
If for a moment, just a second, let me tell you want I want:
Are you ready? It won't take long. I want happiness. In order to be happy I want my dreams to come true. One of these dreams is having a family of my own.
According to Ted, there are still gay men out there who feel that those from our community who want a family are breeder wanna-bes.
If this is true and that gay men think this way I can only say this: Queer as Folk ended years ago and with it went the chidish attitudes!
When will gay guys grow into a men? Oh my...I said the 'M' word. But you know...it does happen and the good news is Life still goes on.
Instead of competing with 18-year-olds, how about accomplishing other goals in ones life. I'm not saying give up the club life completely all I'm saying is that there's a whole world to enjoy.

Frank,
As you and I have discussed in our coffee afventures. I totally agree with you. There is life beyond the bubble that is Church St. and no one seems to see that. I feel like you and I and a select few out there realize that it's time to be a man. We can't be teens our whole life.
Kyle
