We're not sure if you've heard, but it's Valentine's Day: the darkest day of the year for many of you single folk. Rather than offering tales of love (barf) or romance tips (like we'd share), we've decided to feature an interview with a man who dedicates life - and his passion - to enabling intergenerational relationships. Love does, after all, come in many shapes, sizes and ages.

It all started when former holistic therapist Chris Turner noticed a gaping hole in the world of internet dating. Most sites skewed toward the twink coupling, while older men - daddies, if you will - and their admirers were left out in the technological cold. In an effort to fill this void, Turner founded Daddy Hunt, a personals site for older men and younger men looking for love, lust or just plain sex. Turner even found his own man - author Armistead Maupin - on the site.

With 130,000 members ranging from 18 to the late-90s, Daddy Hunt's more than just an online cruising ground, says Turner, but a "political statement" against "mainstream" aesthetic. Read what else Turner had to say, after the jump.

Talk about dirty politics! Fort Worth City Councilman Chuck Silcox urged voters to endorse Chris Turner because his opponent, Joel Burns (pictured), does dudes.

This is an excellent time to have Republicans get out and support a Republican: Chris Turner. We have two people of opposite partisan politics, opposite philosophical persuasions and opposite sexual orientations. [Turner's] married to a female, and the other's married to a male. You make your own mind up.

Burns says he's not surprised by Silcox's sneaky, distasteful tactics and expressed his disappointment: "It is unfortunate that Mr. Silcox and Mr. Turner want to bring partisanship to a nonpartisan race."

Silcox defended himself and insisted he doesn't mean to be derogatory:

I'm not trying to be derogatory about the young man. I've never even met him …From what I understand, he is openly gay. I'm not saying good, bad or otherwise.

Well, actually, you sort of did.
