Dear Reader,

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a kind of knowing in the deepest sense that there is something bigger in the works, that there is a great vision for humanity unfolding before us. And for quite some time now, I’ve wondered how my life fits into that vision.

I know that by holding a torch to illuminate another’s path, we automatically brighten ours. My intention has been to inspire others to discover the best of themselves, and as I’ve done so, my own life has become immeasurably brighter and more purposeful.

My Facebook, my Twitter, and this blog are the firstborn fruits of my desire to build a community of strong-hearted gay men, and already, hundreds of you from all over the world have reached out to say that my message is deeply felt.

Here and now, and for ever, I urge gay men to release the shame, to perceive their own power, and to reclaim the quiet confidence that is their birthright.
