Evan's mug says "Faggots to Burn". It's filled with hot chocolate he made.
What was so horrible about your coming out, Evan?
AS: Tell him how you came out to your mom.
EH: To my mom? This is the worst story ever.
AS: [Laughs] He has a gay older brother. Who was not out yet.
EH: Who was not out yet, who worked as a flight attendant, who lived in San Francisco, who had an amazing sense of style, but wasn’t out, right? So, all the clues were there, so I just figured, I think I was nine – no, I was twenty at the time. I met my first boyfriend – on PlanetOut.
Ah, the Internet boyfriends!
EH: Well, the first one was, because everyone’s so spread out in Dallas. But, yeah, I did – that was Matt, my first boyfriend of three or four months. So, I was twenty years old, met my first boyfriend, totally fell in love and was like, “This is it: totally gay. That’s the answer to all of my problems: I’m gay." That was the clearest –
AS: Before you had a girlfriend, but were religious.
EH: Yeah, I covered up my gayness with Jesus. I was full blown Jesus freak. I had a patch on my letterman jacket that said, “Jesus freak” on it. I’m not even kidding. So, I remember I was in the car with my mom, I had been dating this guy for a little while. I had told my brother Ross – the gay one – that I was gay. I called him up in San Francisco and his response was, “Really? Big deal, so am I.” I was like, “Really? Okay.” I guess in the back of my mind I kind of knew, but we never talked about it. So, fast forward a few days: I’m in the car with my mom and it’s just welling up in me. “I have to tell her, I have to tell her, because it’s me. So, I say – Instead of telling her I’m gay, I say, “Mom, I have something to tell you. Ross is gay… And so am I!”

Are they actually gay or just posing?
Who's the third guy at the table? I'd like to marry him.
UM, You guys need to take the hand towels over the stove and place them someplace else.
Don't want a fire do you?
Ha! Yes, afrolito, that's a real life gay couple. Can you believe it?!
Those guys are adorable.
OMG they're fucking adorable. Now I want to be gay… wait… I already am. damn!
At first I thought this was an article about gay brothers. They look related.
And we're supposed to care about these guys why?
i want to be them.
Hate to burst their pink bubble, but domestic partnership isn't marriage. Not even close.
They're adorable. The story was sweet.
That post was full of warm fuzzies. It reminds me that I have the chance of meeting a guy and settling down.
Queerty should have more posts like this. It compliments the biting sarcasm and caustic wit that I've grown to love quite nicely.
What a snoozefest. I bet that you everything in their apartment is in neutral tones.
Thanks for the slice of life.
I want them to adopt me.
I guarauntee you, one of them is into scat.
they are friends of mine. they are genuinely that sweet, that funny, and that GAY. they are painfully lovable. and…the fact that they are so young and in a committed relationship is lovely to me, because i'm young and i married my partner in massachusetts in 2005 and it's nice to feel like we're not alone in going through it all.
I don't think that's a regular old neutral-toned hand towel over the stove, it appears to be a handmade, one-of-a-kind, bright yellow John Deere logo apron with a ruffled hem… and I bet EH looks *HOT* in it. xoxo
This should be forced reading for the ChristiaNazis, so they can see how sinful and hedonistic this lifestyle really is… YAWN…
Nice interview with a real gay couple. Glad to read and see coverage on regular people.
Great article. Guys, look me up when you get back to Austin. My bf and I are in our late 20's and know plenty of families. johnnieb085@yahoo.com
Addison, I swear you get more press than anyone I know! First the Times article now this :)
You two are so cute, it makes me want to strangle a kitten! :)
I just saw Thai and Sean get married in Paris today. SO cute!
Ahhhh…Alan in Florida. I would expect such drivel from a tired queen in soFL. The land of serial killer and diabetes. Please don't travel.
