And how about you, Addison?

AS: Um, what?

Growing up in Texas, being gay and shit.

AS: I thought I was pretty – I think I just thought I was asexual. I don’t know if I had it figured out.

EH: Tell us about your girlfriend.

You had girlfriends?

AS: I had a girlfriend in college for a little bit.

Was she pretty?

AS: Yeah. So, I had a friend in high school and we started to fool around once and I kind of freaked out because it was like “Oh my God”. I don’t know. I was freaking out, “I can’t do this. I’m asexual”.

EH: Yeah, that’s why Jesus was a good out for me: no sex until marriage. All you have to do is kiss a girl here and there.

AS: It’s obviously more complicated than that, but – I didn’t – when I jacked off and stuff, I would think about guys, but I’d think about girls, too. It was weird –

Do you have siblings?

AS: Yes. Two sisters. Let’s see – coming out. I didn’t really come out until I was in – or realized that I like men or I was sexually attracted to them until junior year of college, I guess, when I got my first boyfriend and it was all over after that. Seduced by a Colombian!

And how did you come out to your family?

AS: That was more recently. It was one of those things – I’ve worked in gay philanthropy for four years and I’ve always told my parents that’s what I did. I came out to my mom maybe five years ago, but it was several years after the fact. I was already living with my last boyfriend. It’s not that I thought she would react in any weird way. I think I just didn’t want to talk about it. I wanted to just talk about it when it at some point when it was just a foregone conclusion and it was just a ten minute conversation. I didn’t really say “Dad, I’m gay” until probably a year ago…

EH: It was around the same time that I told my dad.

AS: Like toward the beginning of last year? I came out to my dad around last April. Easter.

EH: Yeah.

AS: So, I think it was February when you did it.

EH: And how did your dad react?

AS: It was fine. The only thing that he’s weird on is when I was like, “Yeah, we’re planning on having kids one day, too”. He was just, “I don’t know. That’s too much, I don’t understand.”

Where are you going to get these kids?

AS: I don’t know. We haven’t – We could just be uncles or something, who knows?

You like kids?

AS: He wants to be a stay at home dad.

You’re the one who works in finance, you should be going to work!

EH: I have six nephews and they’re a blast and I can see myself doing that one day.

UM, You guys need to take the hand towels over the stove and place them someplace else.

At first I thought this was an article about gay brothers. They look related.

Hate to burst their pink bubble, but domestic partnership isn't marriage. Not even close.

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.

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…
