Apparently I’m not the first gay guy to love long islands.

One night, One choice and one person would change my life forever, at the time I had no clue.
The night started as it usually did, pre-gaming then meeting up with the crew for bar hopping. We went to one of our classic bars serving 24 once long islands or as we like to call them, “a bad idea.” After my third we started walking around to the next bar and I had an excellent idea, “We should go to the gay bar.” I had never been before and was really curious to see what it was like.
My friends are super open about stuff and didn’t care, so we went.
We get to the gay bar and it was a cross between what I had expected and what I didn’t. I was surprised to see so many normal looking guys. It wasn’t how I envisioned it, overly feminine men wearing trendy clothes, it was much more relaxed. Now granted a lot of this was there, but the majority looked like normal guys at bar, excluding the women.
“Not gonna lie it was hot, and on of the first times I felt a man’s scruff against my face.”
I got another long island, this makes 4, but if you count three 24-ouncers… you get the point. Needless to say I was smashed, and this set me over the edge. My roommate, Phil, apparently knew I was gay despite the whole girlfriend thing. He never actually told me or said anything about it until after I came out. This being said he thought it would be a good idea to set me up with this guy he met at the bar.
