    About this ebook

    Victimized, Marginalized, Beaten, Broken, Bullied. Loved, Hated, Misunderstood... As a young LGBT man in America, I’ve been there. There is a time we must take all things that have hurt us, all the things that have made us who we are and put them to use. That’s exactly what I did.... In, “10 Poems Gay Men Should Live By” I’ve written about the experiences that have shaped me as a young queer man. My solutions, insights, and reflections to a great deal of the issues that gay men face in this day and age.

    Surviving the straight world as a gay man can sometimes seem all impossible. There aren't many role models of points of reference we have to look to for guidance. But here are a few things that I've learned along the way that have, touched, inspired and made me better. Poems on dating, sex, love, marriage, and suicide.
