I wrote an article a little while back about all the gays I notice all the time out about town.

About the percentage, I… Continue reading

I always noticed when I lived in the States a lot the Caucasian Americans would run to the beach on free days of the warmer months to get that “Golden” skin tan to look healthy. Even on warm and sunny fall, winter and spring days you would see people out with as little clothing as possible slathering on the sun tanning lotions and oils with their sun reflectors under their… Continue reading
