(population: 325), there was a week-long festival in the "big"
town of Forest Grove six miles away.

Back in the 70s, this was seen as the highlight of the year ...Read the rest of this entry »

Gay dating has been scrutinized for many years, and in history
it has been known that men who were openly gay were not only

the same and the only thing different is that they are of ...Read the rest of this entry »

been hard to discuss a topic like this. But not anymore! Gay
dating is a fact of life and if this is what you want, then go
for it! But before you do, let's discuss a few basic points to
help you get started to finding Mr. Right.
