So we’ve all heard that tired old line:
“You’ve got to love yourself first before you can love someone else”,
and gay guys seem to quote it just as much as anyone else.
Everyone has the right to say I love you!
Well I don’t buy it!
I’m sure that anyone who says you must love yourself before you can love someone else says so with the best of intentions. If nothing else they are emphasising that it is important that we have a healthy love for ourselves.
Fair enough. I’ll come back to this.
What I don’t buy however is that if you don’t love yourself then it should follow you can’t love someone else! Why not? Read the rest of this entry »

One of our Mothership Gay Dating members, piratepete, has just lost his mother. We post the usual condolences, but feel it’s far from enough. It’s a time of extreme anguish we have in the end to all go through alone.
Even a deeply held faith may help little at first; we begin to question everything we’ve been taught, and can acept no facile answers. Guilt comes like an unexpected tsunami, though we hardly know why, erupting from some reccessed honeycomb of the soul, terribly laying waste our immediate pleasures and future plans.
It’s a given that gay men are devoted to their mothers - they carried us for nine months, protected and made sacrifices for us in early years, and at best stood by us when they found out our sexual proclivities. I recall entering the hospital room where my own mother lay dead, and how the tears shot out of my eyes like some lachrymal orgasm. Gay men probably find it more difficult than their straight counterparts to cut free from the apron strings, and it’s essential to our wellbeing that we do so in the living years.

In my late teens I spent three years investigating Spiritualism, attending services at a Christian Spiritualist church in West Yorkshire, and sitting in a ‘development circle’ with the aspiration to develop powers of clairvoyance and clairaudience, the clear seeing and hearing of those who had preceded us to the next world.
Most mediums encountered at that time were little old ladies, in contrast to many present-day handsome, young gay men who smile out from book covers, and have become stage and tv celebrities. In that sense I feel I was an unwitting pioneer, surfing the great wave of curiosity that has swept gay mediums to the forefront of the movement. So why are we as gay men attracted to a religion that had its origins in mysterious rappings reported by a couple of girls called Fox in nineteenth-century rural America?
