Today you will come across happy gay boys and men mingling freely with out fear and shame everywhere across town. Coming out a couple of years ago, especially in Nairobi, would be like handing yourself over to the hangman at the gallows. Today there are so many gay men who are openly out and enjoying the good KWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05497736573605535841noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560410559135402268.post-9854804672529884182010-01-19T10:30:00.002+03:002010-01-19T10:35:42.856+03:00Happy New YearHappy 2010 folks!!!

Have y'all made your resolutions for the new year? Hope you have and are follwing them to the letter so far. Fortunately, I don't make any resolutions. Me thinks that's a whole load of crap.

It has never been easy for anyone to move on after such an emotional break up. Research however shows that men have a tendancy of moving on very easily and quickly compared to the ladies. They tend to focus more on other matters like careers, money, investment and good KWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05497736573605535841noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2560410559135402268.post-85632085740433113322009-07-15T23:56:00.000+03:002009-07-15T23:57:56.884+03:00Homophobia!Tacos, the only gay friendly bar that I know has turned against its only loyal customers, the gay people. I have always avoided that bar for obvious reasons! Why would I want to hang out where every underage gay boy and old gay predator man frequents?

Being a friday, any random plot was welcome. After lazying around in my apartment, I decided to check out the local bars in the afternoon. I needed some company and my pal, whom I have hots for, came into my mind. A phone call and an hour later he was there.

MJ was a popstar who sang for everyone, the old, young, sick, happy, devastated...the list is endless. His music was appreciated by everyone.

Not to sound like a snob but I hate that joint. I don't know what has got into me that I'm finding myself there these days, after avoiding it for more than a year. Anyway, that's besides the point. While there I noticed a bunch of very young gay guys, almost 20 in number.

These are various sizes, not of hands or legs but of that thing that men carry between their two legs which gay men so love. I have never known why this debate about size has never been concluded. I have heard it enough times even among heterosexuals. But I try and understand that human nature is obsessed with size.

I'm back after a long hiatus, and a very long one for that matter. But a lot of water has since passed under the bridge. A lot, I must say, has happened since September when I first published this blog. I will begin with the gay scene in Nairobi. One of those days I was away, I recieved an invitation to attend a meeting at a gay resource centre in Nairobi.
