Falling in Love at Work
Have you ever experienced falling in love at work? Actually, let me rephrase that question…have you ever experienced falling in love with someone at work?

Masculine Side: ON
As a gay, we must admit that we still have that masculine side running in our blood. It may not be exactly 50/50 but we know that it’s in our system, hibernating and can wake up anytime. I don’t know if you find that bad or good but I really find it helpful. When one…
