There's nothing that special about him, he's just another guy who happens to be in love with one of his male friends... I guess the main good thing about him is that he's a very strong-minded person and he's just as capable of looking after himself as everyone else is.<BR/><BR/>Maybe we just need to show those wrongly-informed people that there's nothing really that different about us. That's what i'm trying to do in my own small way.Mirrorboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09412419038822947079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-67796436666112462212008-08-12T04:22:00.000-04:002008-08-12T04:22:00.000-04:001.
