I'm not religious by any sense of traditional values. I always believed, regardless of my parents religion, that you should always be kind, and that kindess pays itself forward. Since moving to Vanocuver well over 2 years ago (July '05), I've had some questions in regards to some of my beliefs. Vancouver is my 6th move in 18 years. I have lived on both coasts and every major city inbetween [Sorry I missed you Montreal! :O] but I was totally unprepared for the gay men of this most beautiful place on earth, Vancouver!
I soon learned the important lessons of being a gay man in the gay mecca west end of Vancouver! Actually, I think that I'm still learning as I go. Another quote (told you I had one for almost every story!) this brings to mind is "if you don't learn from it, you're doomed to repeat it".
I'm not judging here by any stretch of the imagination. Just let me point that out now. Far be it for me to be the judge. I'm just sharing my opinion. A relationship exsists between 2 consenting adults. I believe that as long as these 2 adults communicate what the rules and boundaries are, and are completely honest, then they have the right to have an open relationship. I am old enough and been around long enough to know the difference is between sex and love. For some reason, there seems to be many open relationships (at least that I've come across) here in Vancouver. I'm not an angel by standards, but I've decided that I want someone to myself, and if that makes me unpopular or makes me less dateable or attractive, I don't want you. I think I want sex and love with the same person. Am I old fashioned? Or monogamy is outdated is another famous belief today. I think that monogamy is possible, challenging but possible. I think right now, I'd be happy just to have that one special person in my life!! Always better to be on the good side of karma, right? I'm gonna stick to my guns!
