"I’m always surprised by people who pronounce their love to friends before it feels earned. I’ve heard people say it to me, and I wonder if they really knew enough about me to say they loved me."
I think it's a universal queer AMAB experience to have that friend in high school we fall hard for and don't quite realize it till later. Also it's wonderful to hear that you've had such a long-lasting and meaningful relationship with Frank! This was great to read, Dan. Happy we've become friends through this platform.
Jerry, Continued thanks for QLP. Dan, Fun to get to more more about you. We first met when you ran the film festival in Chicago in, was it? 2015? I was honored that my "Alzheimer’s: A Love Story" documentary was accepted and your and my Q&A after its showing was my first ever Q&A. You made it seem easy. So thanks. Love following your Substack. Too soon to say "love your Substack"? Only kidding. Fondly, Michael

Thanks Max! I feel the same.

Thanks Michael! I remember your film very well. It was so moving! Glad you're here on Substack. You post so many interesting articles! Be well!
Thanks for sharing, Dan. I'm amazed when couples stay together for decades, and appreciate your insights on how to make a lasting relationship work!
Thanks for reading Stephanie!
Loved this, Dan, and love your queer love project, Jerry.
Thanks Moorea!
P.S. Jerry, has anyone ever told you you look like Ty Herndon? 🤣
I haven't heard that one before! but I used to live in Atlanta (and have actually met Ty IRL), so I'll take the compliment!
Good, I’m very glad you didn’t take it as an insult. 😂
Wow! What was he like in person? Down-to-earth? Or had the fame gone to his head?
