I created this image during a period of my life where I felt the gay community and the gay world was suffocating me. As much as I tried to be a part of it, the more it rejected me or held me back.

This is something I struggle with often. I’m very much a community focused guy but there is so little I have in common with much of the gay world. How is it that we ask the world to accept us as we are but continue to judge, reject and outright ridicule those who are different within our own community?
