First of all, we’d like to sincerely thank you guys for putting up with all the technical issues we have been having here at GFY. I know I found them frustrating, but they must have been exponentially more annoying for those of you who just wanted to read a dang website without the whole thing bursting into flames on a daily basis. Your support — and, literally, your actual technical help — is extremely, extremely appreciated. Thank you for being you.

Prejudiced people make an easy target of ‘gay’ being about sex, but I noticed the butterflies, the beating heart and the compulsive need to smile long before I had any idea what I wanted to do about it.” (The Atlantic Wire)
