Michael thats gay weve been dating for
'I Don't Do Depressed Gay': Michael Arceneaux in Conversation With Melissa Harris Perry
Two years this week I confessed to ELLE.com readers that I harbored a love for the young gay penner, cultural critic, and political commentator, Michael Arceneaux, which bordered on inappropriate. Inappropriate given that he is gay and my junior by a decade, and that I am a happily married, straight woman. It was the massacre of 49 people in Orlando’s Pulse nightclub that forced me to demonstrate on how simple it was to make Michael my safe date while forgetting how fragile safety is for people of shade who live at the intersections of Southern and homosexual identities.
After that, “dating” Michael got more complicated, but I didn’t stop. Because I just can’t stop dating Michael Arceneaux.
Of course, dating me was not Michael’s difficulty. As he explains in the title of his forthcoming book, I Can't Date Jesus: Admire , Sex, Family, Race, and Other Reasons I've Put My Faith in Beyoncé, Michael Arceneaux’s question is that he can’t date Jesus.
Michael and I haven’t had a proper date in ages, so this conversation—about the book, his next book venture, and why he doesn’t do “sad gay”—will do for now.
Interview With Former Gay Activist, Michael Glatze
Dr. Nicolosi: Michael, thank you for giving us this period to catch up on your life since our First Interview a few years ago. How are things going today?
Michael Glatze: Good. a lot has changed! I’ve been married a little over two months now.
Dr. N.: Superb . How is it going?
M.G.: Perfect.
Dr. N.: No such thing!
M.G.: It really is! It is perfect. Life is full of twists and turns, of course– but it is perfect. Marriage is something that I didn’t intend to pursue out. I was very hesitant at first to pursue a significant bond because I didn’t wish it to be a political thing, since my past as a lgbtq+ activist was so adequately known. And then, there had been that article about my leaving same-sex attracted life, published in the New York Times. So I didn’t want there to be any part of me that had any political motivation.
But of course, my situation has put me in the public eye. And when Rebekah and I first met, almost three years ago, fortunately she and I could flow together, and we were trustworthy. At that time, I had already had that article done about me in the Times.
Dr. N.: So she knew about you when she first met you?

“I used to get so elated when the meth was all gone.”
This is my friend Jeremy.
“When you possess it,” he says, “you have to keep using it. When it’s gone, it’s like, ‘Oh fine, I can go endorse to my life now.’ I would stay up all weekend and depart to these sex parties and then feel prefer shit until Wednesday. About two years ago I switched to cocaine because I could work the next day.”
Jeremy is telling me this from a hospital bed, six stories above Seattle. He won’t tell me the identical circumstances of the overdose, only that a stranger called an ambulance and he woke up here.
Jeremy is not the confidant I was expecting to have this conversation with. Until a few weeks ago, I had no idea he used anything heavier than martinis. He is trim, intelligent, gluten-free, the kind of guy who wears a function shirt no matter what day of the week it is. The first time we met, three years ago, he asked me if I knew a good place to do CrossFit. Today, when I ask him how the hospital’s been so far, the first thing he says is that there’s no Wi-F

I have a lot of memories from high university. One that sticks out is the gay mime.
Okay, they didn’t actually take a gay mime into my elevated school. But, during my sophomore year Sex & Matchmaking app class, we watched a video. In it, several mime artists acted out a scene at a party; at the end of it, two of them bump into each other and the one drops a magazine called Gay Monthly. He ran away in shock. (Yes, he actually mimed shock as he ran away.)
I remember we clowned on it — and, by that, I signify the presentation. Was there really a magazine targeted for gays with the incredibly on-the-nose title of Gay Monthly? Why would you carry it around if you were afraid of existence outed? And why did my mentor feel the necessitate to show us this scene with mimes?
What I don’t remember doing (though I’m sure it happened among some of us) was making fun of gay people. The video’s point — unless these people were really poor mimes — wa 
I helped my ex-husband reach out as gay. 20 years later, I'm finest friends with him and his new husband.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Teresa Leggett. It has been edited for length and clarity.
Every year, when I dance in Sydney's Mardi Gras parade with my ex-husband, his new husband, and 160 people in the LGBTQ social collective I cofounded, I always think back to the 29-year-old woman who realized she married a same-sex attracted man.
Amid my initial anguish and even anger, I couldn't have imagined that two decades later, my then-husband's coming out would save both of us and help us discover our purposes.
20 years ago, it dawned on me that my husband was gay
Michael and I got married when I was 21, and our marriage lasted a decade — eight years of which were very happy. In our ninth year, I went out to connect his new friends. As the night progressed, it was clear one of Michael's new male friends became very angry and emotional. I looked at him and then at Michael. It was the behavior of someone who felt emotionally betrayed. Suddenly, I had this sinking feeling.
That night, I asked Michael outright if he was gay. He repeatedly denied it. Despite his consiste
