New blog post: HOW GAY ART THOU, SHAKESPEARE ruralgayguy.blogspot.com/2025/09/how-... Once upon a time, it would have mattered to me but now it's much ado about nothing. #LGBTQ

New blog post: OK with PDA ruralgayguy.blogspot.com/2025/03/ok-w... As a gay man, it's taken me a long time to be comfortable expressing public displays of affection.
