Perhaps hard to understand but this t-shirt helped me accept being gay. With Bob, Dave, Christa, Elissa, Glenn, Inci, and Zivan I played in an intramural CMU volleyball tournament. This was a fantastic group of (straight) friends and I always felt very much at ease with them. The pics above are of the t-shirt each participant got. I am displaying it here because it was so wonderful to see male beauty being handed out like this to so many straight guys although I never saw any of my team mates wear it. But I did because it was a t-shirt of a regular non-gay intramural volleyball tournament but also looked quite gay. So it gave a signal without being explicit and I felt comfortable with the ambiguity. At some point, I thought I should stop wearing it and instead treasure it and keep it for prosperity. |
