Gay is not what we are, Gay is not who we are, Being Gay is just one simple part of us.: Treat your friends better..

Welcome

Greetings Everyone!!!
I am starting this blog as a place for Gay men and women to come and read information about a variety of topics and issues. If you would like to be a guest author on my blog, please email me at CarlDinsmore@yahoo.com and tell me why you would like to post something on my blog. This is also a way for people in Cincinnati to get linked to social organizations that maybe they did not know existed. I will work hard on placing all sorts of information on the site, regarding Books, Medical updates, Causes that I deelpy care about, Gay vacation destinations, Gay Sports, and much, much more. Its also just a venue for you to share comments on postings, or share with me a cause or topic I could add to my site.
Last year was a very tough year for me, as I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, which is a form of depression mainly diagnosed in women, but more and more men are being diagnosed with this illness. So, look for information regarding borderline on the blog. Finally having a diagnosis regarding my depression was life saving. Coming through that crisis is what gave me the idea to create this blog.
But my number one goal for this site is the fact that it is time for unity in the gay community. Its time to STOP tearing each other down, but rather to build each other up. We are not all alike. We are different and these differences are what makes our world such a wonderful place to live. Please enjoy the site, and lets unite to make our world the best place it can be.

Treat your friends better..

I think we all need to start treating our friends better, and with more respect. I think friend is also a word we use too loosely. We all have many aquaintancies, but we really only have a small network of friends. I have been so blessed to have had so many good people come into my life. The hardest part of myself that I am working on is how I come across to people, especially during sports. I had a volleyball match last night and one of my team mates had asked me a question after a point and I answered him in a smart-ass tone. Long after the match was over and even though we talked about it, I could not get it out of my mind. I have been working too hard on myself to let that person creep out of my head. Last winter I had a couple of friends help me out of some difficult situations and I have totally dropped the ball in regards to them. When you do a friend wrong, DO NOT avoid them, it just makes it worse. And for those of you who think you can bury stuff deep inside and it will never surface, you are totally wrong. I attempted suicide for the 2nd time in 3 years last May and I almost succeded. I was sinking in my own mistakes and misery and I just wanted it to end. Communitcate with your friends, treat them well, and if you get to a dark place in your thoughts, seek out HELP.
