I take your point though about us all gay or straight becoming damaged or cynical over time. if only we couold “stop every now again and remember the excitement of the first time.” GOOD POINT.

I take your point of the article however. Unfortunately I believe many of us straight or gay do lose our innocence and become cynical or damaged over time.

“Maybe we need to stop every now again and remember the excitement of the first time.”

I defo agree with that sentence. If only it was that simple, hey ?

I remember my first night out as a Gay man in Sydney also. Gillians on a Sunday afternoon listening to Kate Munro, whom I met that night and Kabi ! The rest is history and I loved it all…….we still have so much to do as a community around equality to effect positive change. My first Mardi Gras was the most amazing night of my life. It is a pleasure to be connected with the community with people such as yourself in it…..Love
