Comments: I'm closeted gay male and want to remain that way. I am happy this way, have a good job, and too much too lose if I "came out." I'm looking for a female who would like to share companionship with a kind man, go out for functions, go to theaters together, nd so on. In other words, a beard. We'll see where this relationship takes us. If anyone out there can understand this, do write.

Comments: Your description is incredible. I have always known what you say is true, but I have never seen it put so succinctly. I did once read a book (I forgot the title) that reiterated the fact that America's openly gay culture was performing a disservice to gay , shoving a set of values (?) down America's throat that are hollow and not representative of the majority of homosexuals. Furthermore, that the flaming queen/gay pride parade participant is actually the minority, and that the silent homosexual masses exi t in the background. This is true. These men and women who demand the spotlight have their own agenda, and it is not the advancement of gays in general. It is the legitimization of their own perverse lifestyle! Their own amoral and shallow existense! I have been aware of my orientation for 19 years. And in 19 years I have never identified the effeminate, limp wristed stereotypical faggot. The fact that I act straight is merely a coincidence -I act like I want to act. And that just so happens to be con idered straight. One unfortunate by-product of this is the difficulty in meeting guys who are like myself. Finding them in bars is like finding a needle in a haystack. To make matters worse, I'm considered extremely attractive by the opposite sex (and the same sex for that matter), I'm educated, I'm a professional, and guess what? I'm in great shape too! And I don't have little man syndrome : ) All I want is to find another guy like myself. But you know what? In terms of what seems to be available, I am looking for a minority of a minority of a minority of a minority. And the only other guys that I'm attracted to are usually horrified by the im lications of being homosexual (as depicted by the gay cult), and go right back into their straight closet once they've had their tryst with me. And that leaves me feeling like there is only one alternative: explore my heterosexual side. I know it's there and I am very lonely. Women are looking better and better all the time. All for lack of what I really want. Just another guy like myself.

Comments: Date: Tue, 6 Jul 1999 15:13:38 Thanks for a very informative website. If I may be so bold as to classify myself as a "Base Line" homosexual, and I do, from that point I can tell you that so much of your website rings true for me and my beliefs. When I first came out I forced myself to act "characteristically" gay, since it seemed it was the way to be. All my agreement came from effeminate men and it was my first exposure, a relief even as it was to find other gay people in any form. But as time went on I grew tired of the constant sexual innuendos, the sleazy comments in public, that blasting of people who did not like to see the gays wear their leather gear and dresses in public. Myself I conceded that I also found it rude, anti-social, and disgusting behavior to parade a line of drag queens down the street, telling people that this was a representation of me; for it certainly was not. How much I enjoy the masculinity of my life, wanting to share myself with a masculine loving man, a man who likes sports, cars, racing, competition, electronics, and all the other things that guys are supposed to like. Me wear a dress and act like a girl? Nothing could be farther from my desire than such behavior. To be honest I'm proud to admit that I can't decorate to save my life. My house looks like a bachelor pad and most likely always will. Approaching 40 years of age though, I find myself lonely and often depressed. Where does one find a loving man who shares the same desires. Certainly not in the bars and it seems certainly not on AOL or the internet, where it seems that the proudest person is infected with AIDS and boldly proselytizes his sexual act of barebacking and wearing his positive status like a trophy, as if he now had a choice. Proud? I tell you what proud is. Proud is having my health and negative status, a symbol of my non-promiscuity and internal strength in resisting sex with everyman that cruised me. Proud would be to have a relationship where you are bonded with each other through love, trust, and support. Getting tested to prove negativity and being able to commit to each other, sharing your love for each other and only for each other without a thin layer of latex between you. That would be something to be proud of and cherish daily. I look daily for the chance at meeting that one guy who I can share my life with, someone who is happy in himself and his age without trying to hold on to his youth by chasing young men who are old enough to be his sons. Someone who is masculine and caring and can kiss another man without losing that masculinity. Informative as your website is it does not provide me with the information I require. That being "WHERE ARE THE BASE LINE MONOGAMOUS GUYS"? Thanks, Randall Stevens

Comments: what a great piece to read. Altough i only read it quickly, the message was very clear. I so recognize myself in this. It pisses me off that the best gay guys are the straight looking ones. And damn, they are never around in the bars.... howcome?? It was good reading this, i was feeling down but am much better now.
