I recently joined
Gay Romeo after reading about it on the
Gay Universe pages of Kosova.
First of all, I'm depressed when I read Gay Universe pages - while it's great that Kosovar gay men love sex, it's a little sad when that's all they want out of a guy.
I speak from a perspective of privilege, thousands of miles away from the epicenter, where it all happens, so I have a certain freedom to criticize, which, one could argue, is not fair or just. In a sense, whoever thinks that is right because I am not putting my life at risk by writing about men who do.
I am also not in a situation where being labeled as gay in the community will mean the failure of my life, career, and whatever else I hold dear for my future.
Now that that disclaimer is out of the way, I can keep going with my story. I created a profile on Gay Romeo primarily because I wanted to talk to a fellow gay Kosovar. I did talk to a few, and quickly realized they were all in it for a quick fix of "you do me, i'll do you, we'll all be happy." They were, in fact, so horny that talking about anything else would have been pointless: What were the things I was asked?
[In respective order]
A-Where am I now?
B-Do I have a photo of my body?
C-Do I have a cam?
D-Where do I live that I don't have a cam?
Answering these questions honestly meant that neither one of these men wanted to keep in touch - So I'm left wondering once again if all the men on this page I was lucky to find are in fact, looking for S-E-X.
Time will tell. Until then,
I'll read articles on the web about the efforts of the Catholic Church/Muslim Community/ Orthodox Church in Kosova to rid Kosovar gay men's right to marry. Unfair.
