my name is Bill.  I’m not sure if you got my first email about a week ago.  I think I messed up the address.  I was wondering if you would be interested in starting a support group for gay male parents.  I wrote you a long time ago and asked for assisstance in telling my...

Dear Mark, I have been seeing this guy for about six months now. He’s a great guy and about ten years my senior. The only problem is that he is just getting out of a long term relationship. It was a hard breakup but they are trying to be friends. I have met the ex...

Dear Mark, I am top Puerto Rican gay, 42 with bright brown eyes and very handsome. I have a problem. People just come looking to me for sex. I do not like going with different men. I would like a relationship with one. But that never happens. My friends tell me to stop complaining because...

Dear Mark I wanted to respond to a letter you wrote a few months ago. You said this was a manageable disease and I disagree with you. Since you work with people afflicted with HIV/AIDS, I wanted to write in to remind you that NOT everyone has this as a “manageable disease”….I for one am...

Dear Mark, I have been an out and proud gay woman for almost 15 years. Count them….15. I told my parents that I was gay as a teenager almost as soon as I knew myself. A few years after that my mom and dad divorced but have always stayed friendly. My dad remarried to a...

Dear Mark, I’m writing you this letter because I’ve become unnerved at the way gay life if represented in the media. Well not how actually but “who”. I was okay when Eric McCormac, a straight man played gay in the tv show Will and Grace. I was even okay the other guy, Sean Hayes, who...

Dear Mark, What are your thoughts on New Year’s resolutions? I have never been a big fan but I have had one hell of a year and I don’t like how my life is going. I think it’s time to make some big changes. My boyfriend cheated on me so I cheated on him back...
