I am not in mourning
Why do I feel infertile? Because almost every book or article on adoption tells me how I should mourn my infertility.
Like almost everything else in life, I have to filter and dissect whatever I take in, so that I can find the part that speaks directly to me and my experience. As a gay man, I've become a pro at this.

I think there's a psychological break you discover--most usually just before, I think--when you discover that you're gay. And because this happens so often when we are children: the six year old who wears his mother's make-up, the impossible crush you have on the entire soccer team, that underlying knowledge that girls just don't DO it for you like everyone tells you they should--I think gay men are experts in working that seive in our minds. From moment number one we are under attack from society--and so we get really good at feeling outside of it.
