HIKG AS A GAY MAN AND HIKG WH A SIGNIFINT OTHER: TWO GUT PERSPECTIV
First is my AT iend Soulslosher, who was the only openly gay th-hiker I knew.
I asked him to wre anythg, anythg at all about hikg through Appalachia as a gay male, and he gave me this awome rponse:.
GAY HCHHIKER
Would be amplified sce I likely wouldn’t have many, if any, gay people to relate to. Yet beg gay is somethg that is a part of my inty and was the approach which I felt the most fortable. If anythg, a few hikers were astonished, yet supportive, that a young gay man was out here … the middle of nowhere, dirty and smelly, hikg om Geia to Mae.
However, I’m unsure if I broke anyone’s perceived stereotyp about gay men.
