“many gay men find and build community around an embrace of shared spaces,”
I wonder why gay men have more "friends".
A: sex.
No, we don't all fuck our friends. I think I have a total of one friend who I've "fucked" twice in 7 years. Gay culture goes beyond sex, and so do our friendships.
So, you admit that you are fucking your friends at least twice every 7 years?
Guilty!
