"A wave of gay men flocking to San Francisco from 1969 onwards meant that by 1980 "two in five adult men were openly gay" in the city. In the same year, gay men gave between 5 & 7% of all donated blood in San Fran. "These were civic-minded people."" — Jan 09, 2025 02:57PM

“Why is being touch by strangers â€� strangers who refuse to identify themselves â€� a form of flattery?”
― I'm Afraid of Men.
― I'm Afraid of Men.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
