Time to pause for a little celebration. When I started this blog in 2008, it was called Rural Gay. I was feeling isolated as a middle-aged gay man on BC’s Sunshine Coast and the blog was often the only place to explore that part of my identity. In 2015, I moved back to Vancouver and, thus, the blog required a name change, however awkward: Rural Gay Gone Urban. The name never sat well with me and I eventually retitled it to what it is today, Aging Gayly.
Throughout this time, I have posted more than 850 posts. I didn’t know I had that much content floating about in my brain! Somehow, I continue to find topics. The aim is to post once a week, but I give myself the week off on occasion when I search my brain and it replies with, “Nope… nothing.” Okay then.
This past Saturday, the blog hit a milestone, surpassing 1,000,000 views. Hard to fathom. I am grateful to all who have stopped by, intentionally, curiously or even mistakenly over the years. I will continue to write. I hope you will continue to visit.
