Old gay men suck
Diaries of a homosexual
They say every nighttime in Europe tells a story, but this week on Diaries of a Homosexual, my nights told a full-blown saga one with fashion statements, criminal investigations, and kebab-line philosophers.
First, Maddie met a man in only a skirt who wasn’t just rewriting the rules of fashion but possibly her entire worldview. Meanwhile, my attempt to crack into Berghain didn’t just end in rejection, it ended with me solving a crime. Who knew the bouncers were gatekeeping the club and Berlin’s unsolved mysteries?
Then there was the coach incident: me running like I was auditioning for the Olympics, only to end up with bloody arms and linen pants that would make any dry cleaner weep. And because subtlety isn’t my forte, I thought disguising my lesbian ally as a brief boy to sneak into a men’s club was a genius idea. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t.
The night peaked in a McDonald’s bathroom, where I was mid-vomit/makeout when a fight broke out. The kind of scene that makes you question if you’re the protagonist or just an innocent bystander in life’s absurd sitcom. Maddie’s insights on love and heartbreak came later, as we untangled the lessons buried in o
When it comes to dating in the gay community, age is often a topic of discussion. While some may prefer to date someone their age, others may be drawn to older guys. And for good reason! Older guys bring unique qualities to the table that can make for a fulfilling and meaningful relationship.
In this article, we'll explore five reasons you might want to consider falling in love with an older guy. From their life experience and wisdom to their financial security and appreciation for life, older guys have much to offer.
Introduction
Age Is Just a Number
In a community that sometimes feels obsessed with youth and six-pack abs, dating someone older can sound as outdated as a flip phone. But here's the thing: intergenerational relationships in the lgbtq+ world aren't just a niche interest – they're a celebration of the diversity that makes our community so rich. It's about breaking down stereotypes and realizing that love, connection, and, yes, mind-blowing attraction don't arrive with an expiration date.
So, let's shatter some myths, shall we? Dating an older guy doesn't mean you're looking for a sugar daddy (though, hey, no judgment if that's your thing). It's not about daddy

The Epidemic of
Gay LonelinessBy Michael Hobbes

“I used to get so eager when the meth was all gone.”
This is my friend Jeremy.
“When you contain it,” he says, “you have to keep using it. When it’s gone, it’s like, ‘Oh superb, I can go endorse to my life now.’ I would stay up all weekend and travel to these sex parties and then feel love shit until Wednesday. About two years ago I switched to cocaine because I could work the next day.”
Jeremy is telling me this from a hospital bed, six stories above Seattle. He won’t tell me the precise circumstances of the overdose, only that a stranger called an ambulance and he woke up here.
Jeremy is not the companion I was expecting to have this conversation with. Until a few weeks ago, I had no idea he used anything heavier than martinis. He is trim, intelligent, gluten-free, the kind of guy who wears a serve shirt no matter what day of the week it is. The first time we met, three years ago, he asked me if I knew a good place to do CrossFit. Today, when I ask him how the hospital’s been so far, the first thing he says is that there’s no Wi-
