My Gay American Dream is about marriage, parenting, loving someone, overcoming your fear and reaching your potential, and the future of the LGBTQ community written from my gay gaze.

Everything I think, feel, crave, create, conquer comes from being gay. It is the filter through which everything I write and everything you read will come from.
