The Positive Aspects of Vast Age Differences Between Gay Men

Tony and I have always had older gay friends…gay men and gay women. We’ve loved them dearly, we’ve learned from them, and we’ve helped them through illnesses and death. But mostly, we learned. We learned about what life was like before AIDS, what it was like in the 1950s, and they also taught us about the more refined things in life. The first time we met our friends Steve and Charles they made it clear they would NEVER use paper napkins, paper plates, plastic utensils, and paper cups. And to this day, Tony and I have never had a paper napkin in our homes. Or, paper anything.

They also taught us about antiques, travel, and art. And we listened and savored every last aspect of our friendship. And to this day I’m thankful for that. We also still have several very good older gay friends. And for the most part, it’s as though there isn’t even an age difference.

This article I’m linking to now talks about the vast age differences between gay men as friends.

Our friendship works both ways, though. I asked Gil about this and he said there are numerous benefits to being friends with younger gays like me — for starters, we keep him on top of all the ways the world has changed when it comes to technology and social interaction.

Here’s the rest. It’s not a bad opinion piece. Sometimes it gets a bit condescending, but he’s still young and still has a great deal to learn.

Reader Reviews: This is the first of its kind not only a gay retelling of Flowers in the Attic but the first of any kind of retelling of any of the V.C. Andrews books. Usually, two fears strike for fans of any book that is going to get a new twist.
