Sex Tips Can Change Your Life, Epilogue: Dear Dan, Acknowledgments, CHAPTER 1 Welcome to HomoLand We all remember our first trip to Disney World, and the wondrous and exciting subworlds inside. As a mini-Mo in training, you were probably quite fond of Tomorrowland, with its gleaming, shiny surfaces, futuristic look, and the promise of a life of ease and contentment, complete with a videophone that knew how to scramble your image on a bad-hair day. You may also have harbored a special fondness for Tomorrowland since it was where you wanted to be, instead of stuck in the boring straight world, waiting in line for Space Mountain and looking at pictures of perfect futuristic families that you knew would never be yours. Well, tomorrow is suddenly today, the videophones are here (though they haven't yet solved that hair issue), and there's no more waiting in line for the rides. HomoLand is the place that we all imagined and thought we'd never see. It is full of handsome musclemen in skimpy spandex outfits who walk down the street holding hands, who cruise you back with a boldness you never dreamed possible, and who are ready and willing to talk to you right now. It's the restaurant where two guys having dinner together don't feel like freaks, the bookstore with all the gay mags, the shop where the salesboy doesn't flinch when you ask him if those pants make your ass look good. In HomoLand, you're really popular, have a fabulous wardrobe, and need to have cards printed up with your phone number because so many guys are asking for it. Well, guess what? HomoLand is open for business and your table is ready. As you no doubt know, some version of HomoLand already exists in every big city across America, and probably the world, for that matter. We won't even list them since they're so well-known, and if you're reading this book, it's safe to assume that you know where to find them. But there's more to HomoLand than geography, since it also exists in your head, and you don't have to live in the gay ghetto to shack up there. HomoLand is also a social construct, a way of viewing the world, and we have to say it, a way of life. It's not just about being out, it's about being out in the world, and not afraid to take chances, follow your dreams, have fun, make mistakes, and even learn from them. It's about accepting not just yourself, but also evil poofs, mean queens, body buddies, and others whom you may not necessarily like, but acknowledge nonetheless. In other words, everyone has a home in HomoLand. "We Love Gay Life" That being said, however, it can still be a real blast to live in the ghetto, hang out with the boys, and have tons of fun. Many years ago, my best friend, Jim, and I were on our way from Philadelphia to New York for a weekend visit with our other dear friend, Miss Amy. It was a cold, rainy winter night, and we decided to pop for a cocktail before the drive. Needless to say, one cocktail turned into three or four, and we were soon talking about how nice it would be to bake on a beach with an endless supply of margaritas. In what was probably the most spontaneous
