I recently came across an article from the Huffington Post that eloquently articulates some things I've only just started to notice about myself and the community as a whole, and I thought I would share it.
The article delves deep into mental health, sexually transmitted infections, and drug abuse issues that plague gay people, particularly men.
It's quite a long article, but please do read it:
