AGING GAYLY

From the moment we entered the world, we began growing older. I'm just more aware of it lately. Aging Gayly is a place for a fifty-something gay guy to drop his musings, rants, critiques and opinions about all things connected with queer life and mental health.

About Me

Aging Gayly: Aging? Check. Gay? Check. I’m hoping we’re learning that neither is a bad thing. As to both descriptors, they are what we make of them. There have been times in life when I’ve fretted too much over words and mannerisms. Did that sound gay? Do I look gay? Why can’t I pretend to like Bon Jovi? Bon Jovi?! Who? What? Yep, a dated reference. I can only call myself middle-aged if I plan on living to one day make news as the world’s oldest living person. It’s a stretch, even if I eat homemade kale chips and continue jogging. By the way, feel free to add a comment to any of my posts. (Writing can feel so lonely!)
