Gay is not what we are, Gay is not who we are, Being Gay is just one simple part of us.: Happy New Year....

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.

Happy New Year....

I just wanted to take a moment and wish everyone a very Happy New Year. I can only hope that 2009 brings everyone so much more than they were able to get in 2008. I wish for you that you all reach your goals, have many successes and much happiness in the new year.
Maybe one day soon gays and lesbians will no longer have to struggle to just be themselves and live everyday, normal lives just as any other US citizen strives to do. Gay, straight, bi, transgendered, straight, whomever, we all deserve the right to happiness in our lives.
I had a great year in 2008 as far as my depression goes. I actually went a full year without suffering from life altering depression. I learned alot about myself and realized who my real friends are, and how much my family means to me. I love them all very much. As a family we are not perfect and we all have our flaws, but we are family and that means everything to me. I miss my mom and dad but I have to believe that they are together and they are happy, at peace, and enjoying each other without illness, pain and suffering of any kind. They are watching down on us hoping good things for all of us.
So, with all that said, Happy New Year to all of you and the best that 2009 can bring you.
