VIDEO OF THE DAY :: Before You Know It...Official Trailer
WGB: I have TREMENDOUS respect for gay men older than me. I actually have had that respect since I was 18 years old (1989) and older men taught me about life, taught me about safer sex, taught me how to respect those who may be older than I.
Now that I am 42 and the attention I have received has waned greatly, I embrace it because of THOSE older men who showed me how proud they were at ANY age. This is a great movie clip above but even greater is the lesson all the men older than me have taught me through the years . I LOVE, RESPECT, and ADORE YOU! Thank you for carrying the torch for so very long!
