Fearless

My philosophy is that I just go about my life and if someone asks I tell them the truth. That includes mentioning the man I'm dating and giving gender specific examples when talking about dating / sex. I treat it like an everyday normal thing, because that's what being gay is to me. It's just a normal part of life. At the same time if someone has a problem with me, they don't have the time of day so far as I'm concerned.
