Dear Curious,
I read your biography with interest. I have been on WOL for over four years. I am a gay man, who by virtue of my sexuality have suffered a lamentable catalogue of abuse, prejudice, discrimination and violence, job loss and eviction. I am now 73 years old. A lot of what I have written here was in the past.
Your poems are of a high standard, which you really should pursue as it is also cathartic and comes from your inner self. You obviously possess courage to address your sexuality to your nearest and dearest. Stand up and be proud of your humanity, your personal dignity and courage, your sexuality and put pen to paper and write. You stand out as a unique and talented individual and don't let anyone else tell you otherwise.
Keith

Hello curious, I felt compelled to introduce myself after reading your profile as a result of seeing a comment you had left on a poem today. I instantly was captivated and intend to read all of your poems when I have the time, as I identify with your personal situation like a mirror image. I am a 58 year old Bi-sexual male who has been living a double life since the age of 9 years old. I am a father, have x wives, and x secret male lovers. Life has been a confusing, stressful, mess. And getting older, and still wanting a lover is a very lonely place. Only recently after beginning to express myself in poetry have I found peace, and contentment. Blogging my poetry on write out loud has changed my life. Many of my poems have a Bi-sexual theme, and I would like for you to read some. I think that you will find them very interesting. Here are three poems I suggest that you read. "Under the Bridge" "Caution! Door swings both ways", and "the Hook". By J.D. Bardo. Thank-you. looking forward to reading your work, both old, and anything new.
