By Benjamin Anderson  |  2010/06/09 18:57 Posted in Same-sex attraction, Stories  |  Comments (0)

I knew I was different for as long as I can remember. My earliest memories were same sex feelings.  I won’t bore you with all the common childhood and teen experiences at this time, but suffice it to say, back in the fifties, the only option I felt open for me, was to get married. Read More »
