GAY AND CAN'T FD A PARTNER?

OK, so, you’re gay, and you want to fd a partner and eventually a hband; someone wh whom to share your life.

Sadly, the wounds are difficult to heal, and as a rult, n leave gay men wh the sense that we are unlovable and th unworthy of love, affectn, and happs.

Contrary to heterosexual fears, legal gay marriage has given the stutn an enormo boost importance.
