<p>Just imagine: it's November 1916, the Battle of the Somme, and you're standing knee-deep in ice-cold, muddy water in a trench somewhere in Northern France. You're freezing, dirty, hungry and terrified. All around is the stench of death. You're an ordinary soldier, you've no idea what you're fighting for, in fact you don't really care, you're just glad that you've managed to survive so far and can't wait to get home. Oh yes, and one other thing - you're gay. Not only that, you're in love with the 18-year old soldier next to you who cries himself to sleep every night because he's so scared. But you've never dared tell him how much you love him. Then suddenly a whistle blows, further down the line the officer draws his pistol and gives the order to go over the top. Your heart lurches. Already the enemy machine-guns are firing, bullets are crackling over your head. You haul yourself over the edge of the trench and start running towards the enemy lines when you hear an unearthly shriek. You turn and see the boy you love lying on the ground in a pool of blood, his entrails hanging out, screaming for his mother. The last thing you see before you run on is the light going out in his eyes. This is what this collection of poetry is about - love poems written by gay men who fought in the Great War. As someone who served in the army I can promise you that the emotions and images described are absolutely true. The title and author are in the picture below, the ISBN is 0715628798. It may only be available in a used copy now. Do try and get one,but beware-it isn't for the faint hearted.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://i.imgur.com/P4ir1fF.jpg" alt="" width="131" height="200" /></p> <p style="text-align: center;">

This is my first blog.  I've been loving this website for longer than I dare to say.  This community seems to be a bunch of really real folks, and I finally decided to join

and give you guys a kudos.  I'm older guy, sort of passed sixty, but don't look my age.  Hey, I've read the blogs, and I love the support you've given to the kids who have so much to handle in this really mixed up world we live in.  If we don't love and care for one another, we really have no hope.

was thinking of getting some chickens, are they hard to look after, do you get much eggs from them, do you build a chicken hut or something. do they BOCK BOCK BOCK, or is that just an impression.

 

This morning as I thought about this day, I saw this picture. And it made me think of a sweet young man that has touched so many here. And is still in our thoughts even though not on GBT today. And I know that today he too will be visiting his own Father. My heart goes out to him and all who have lost a father, brother, mother or sister to the horrors that war brings. May mankind find the will and love to learn to live in harmony so that no child has to suffer the loss of a parent again. Find peace in your day Joelie...

god! look after people of our community that we lost yesterday.we grieve with your loved ones, and wish a speedy recovery to the injured.what can we to do to stop these butchers of mankind.

 

For Andy and Cooper, on a day that is special to you for many reasons. In memory of a close friend you carry in your hearts and minds, as I hold you both in mine.  Thanks for being the great friends to everyone that you are.  It matters... a lot.  Love you both so much.
