I remember playing on my Atari 600 XL when I was 12 years old and blown away at how much it looked like a real cartoon . <| sep |> Maybe . As a gay man , what can I do to make life happier is a better question ? I ' m at a point in my life where I ' ve single for 6 yrs . Don ' t really have many gay friends even though I try hard to reach out . I realize not all your friends need to be gay but I would like some . There ' s just a way of understanding each other than having a straight friend . Don ' t get me wrong . I have some awesome friends and allies , but sometimes you just want to talk to another gay guy . On top of that , There are things in the country that concern me . Homophobia . Living a life that is safe and happy . So , you should be trying to live a happy life . Period . But I see how being a minority factors into that equation . Like minorities do .
