Chad is the same as you he don't like to do things in the public I never understood that until we had a long talk about it one day.

I understand how people can make you feel bad about something or yourself and your believes its crazy but its the world we live in.

Besides that part of Chad is cute as well so it's a big turn on to me.

Merry Christmas Rich and Justin!

Well it's a tough one - to hold hands or not to hold hands! I was a bit anxious about it for a few years, but living in Sydney (which is like San Francisco), I began to feel more comfortable doing it.

With Rob, I grab his hand unconsciously a lot here in Washington DC. Sometimes he pulls away, sometimes he reaches for mine. I guess I'm so enthusiastic about it and it feels so natural that if someone had a problem with it, I really think it's their problem and not mine.

It's a tough one, though. I think you should publicly display that affection for Justin ;) Do it for him, if anything - he'd be blown away if you just grabbed his hand on the bus or in town, etc!

Isn't it sad that we gay men have fallen into this trap created by straight people? I understand that same fear. I try to tell myself to just grab Charles's hand anyway, but then the image of disapproving stares stops me. Most straight people will never understand this fear.
