Behind many gay men, you'll sometimes find a straight woman or vice versa. In my life I have had several serious relationships with straight females. They have been my best friends, my confidants even at times my scapegoats. But, I have loved and I now miss them all. Life has a funny way of driving wedges in relationships no matter who's involved. Why am I sharing this with you, you ask? During the Atlanta Snow Storm of 2011, I had the opportunity to catch up on some Tivo. A show that I recorded, but had not watched, seemed to fit a snowed in day of television. Girls who like boys who like boys was the title of my 8 hour TV marathon. Shown on the Sundance channel, GWLBWLB, chronicles the life of 4 "couples" in New York City. It just so happens that the couple consists of 1 Gay Man and 1 Straight Woman. I found it interesting how I could relate to every couples problems and connections to each other. Some of the interactions seemed like a few pages out of my life. The show can be a little corny at times, but very heart felt at others. I sat through all 8 episodes wanting my own "Girlfriend". Maybe that's what I am missing right now in my life. A female friend to share private thoughts and secrets with that sometimes cannot be shared with another man. I'll let you guys know when I find her... again..
