Being a “Curious George” I sometimes take strange journeys on the internet. Today, it started with Lotuslander’s comment, leading to Amazon.com and the excerpt of your writing in “From Boys to Men.” I believe that the excerpt is just that and, therefore, not complete. In any event, it’s good. It suggests that the entire collection would be a worthwhile read.

By way of Lotuslander’s blog, I ended up at “Wikipedia’s” gay, lesbian, and bisexual list of people. In scanning the Y’s, I saw Yi-Fu Tuan. Damn! I never think about a writer’s gender orientation when enjoying a book. But, the listing encouraged a smile; his “Topophilia” is a seminal work in environmental perception, attitudes and values. I should have known that the writer had the “gay” gene.

The challenge, now, is to read his autobiography — “Who Am I?” — possibly adding another dimension to my own identity journey.

Thanks for your commitment as a writer.

I am new to the world of blogging, less to that of gay blogging. I have started my own blog two weeks ago. It’s gay relationships with a Lebanese perspective.

Cheers from Beirut to all gay bloggers
