It Gets Better
If you haven't checked out the many awesome videos posted at the project site, by celebrities and nobodies, old and young, male and female, trans and bi and straight and gay, every delicious flavor of our rainbow - you should. All are wonderful, sending the message of life and love and hope to our little brothers and sisters who are living now in the hell we all went through once - and in most cases, in my generation anyway, had no help, no support, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. It's a really breathtaking turnout by the whole LGBT community - something to be damn proud of.
These videos would have been an enormous help to me forty years ago, and I'm so glad I've lived to see a day when we can reach out in this way to those hurting kids, and maybe save some beautiful young lives.
A few that your Head Trucker especially likes, for one reason or another. Enjoy.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, harmony; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may seek not so much to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen.
.
We cannot all do great things, but we can do small things with great love.
and welcome to the Blue Truck, a blog for mature gay men with news and views on gay rights, history, art, humor, and whatever comes to mind. Plus a few hot men. The truck's all washed and gassed up, so hop in buddy, let's go.
CAUTION: For mature gay men only beyond this point. Some posts and links may not be suitable for children or the unco guid. You have been warned.

My Story

Churches say that the expression of love in a heterosexual monogamous relationship includes the physical, the touching, embracing, kissing, the genital act - the totality of our love makes each of us grow to become increasingly godlike and compassionate. If this is so for the heterosexual, what earthly reason have we to say that it is not the case with the homosexual?
It is a perversion if you say to me that a person chooses to be homosexual. You must be crazy to choose a way of life that exposes you to a kind of hatred. It's like saying you choose to be black in a race-infected society.
If God, as they say, is homophobic, I wouldn't worship that God.
