Identity: Not just, “The Gay Place.”
So, I was a little upset to find out that alot of people, outside of those who come here on a regular basis, refer to Identity as, “The Gay Place.” I find this to be really misleading, see as many of the people who come to Identity aren’t gay identitified, and on top of that, all of the topics discussed here are relevant to anyone. If people can’t stop thinking of Identity as, “The Gay Place,” they might overlook a different title, “The hang out,” or in my case, “Home.”
