I became aware of Log Cabin Republicans, but I lived further than I was willing to drive to attend their meetings. <br /><br />One night, I got tired of reading the gay left drivel and e-mailed the LCR Tampa Bay club about alternatives. They suggested looking for blogs. I found Boi From Troy (no longer blogging) and a link to GayPatriot. I've thoroughly enjoyed GP for years and it's always been a daily stop.<br /><br />I tried blogging for a few years. One day, I got bored and stopped. I was spending long hours reading news articles and other blogs and decided to go watch TV, which I hadn't done in ages. Now and then, I think of blog ideas or posts, but I just don't have the will to do it.<br /><br />Keep up your good work and make the decisions that are right for you.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />TGCRobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05968315519418877272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868134549354672411.post-21941233630238823232011-07-09T00:21:33.645-07:002011-07-09T00:21:33.645-07:00Thank you, Mark.Thank you, Mark.Naamlooshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06755492692841231780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868134549354672411.post-22595442992704234722011-07-07T10:10:50.953-07:002011-07-07T10:10:50.953-07:00looking forward to reading more from you.... gay c...looking forward to reading more from you.... gay conservative here also, though not out, nor completely accepting of my sexuality yet, but enjoy reading the Gay Patriot and like the sounds of yours...MarkMarkhttp://thoughtsofasojourner.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868134549354672411.post-14557514613651520652011-07-06T12:59:20.106-07:002011-07-06T12:59:20.106-07:00Thank you, Aardvark.Thank you, Aardvark.Naamlooshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06755492692841231780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868134549354672411.post-16383905003791628382011-07-06T12:17:38.190-07:002011-07-06T12:17:38.190-07:00Well done.

It certainly motivates me to know that their might actually be people reading my blog. I hope I don't disappoint anyone.

For a long time, I felt like I was the only one.

As...Welcome aboard the conservative blogging train! As a conservative heterosexual Christian living in the Grand Canyon state, I embrace your courage to stand up for what you believe, to put your heart and mind out in the blogosphere. GayPatriot is one of the most insightful, intelligent, and humorous conservative blogs out there - if you're going to be inspired by any conservative blogger, Mr. Blatt is an excellent choice.<br /><br />I wish you tremendous success in your new endeavor - true patriotism knows no gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation. We're all on the same side - supporting inalienable freedoms, less government interference, and free market principles. You will have days you love blogging... days that you will truly loath it. You'll never be bored, however.<br /><br />I'll be popping in often - as Eric wrote above, I'm looking forward to reading what you have to say. God bless and hang in there.classic_filmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187752499562769994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3868134549354672411.post-29068336085557917672011-07-06T05:50:14.876-07:002011-07-06T05:50:14.876-07:00Welcome out!

It took time, but it worked out extremely well - I'm sure it will for you too. <br /><br />I also had difficulty finding politically like-minded gay people and found the gay community in general very hostile to conservatives - I also found GayPatriot and struck up an email conversation with Bruce Carroll, which was extremely helpful to me at the time. I also was inspired to start my own blog - you can find it here: http://diogenesborealis.blogspot.com<br /><br />I hope you'll find as I have that the Canadian conservative blogging community is very welcoming of gay bloggers. We may not agree on all the issues (in fact I disagree with you on the issue of gay marriage) but we have almost always had enjoyable, respectful debate. That's more than I can say about the way we're received by liberal pundits.<br /><br />Good luck - looking forward to reading your blog.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04999369383582550513noreply@blogger.com
