DADsquared℠

Many years ago, I met a young guy in his 30’s who seemed to be very nice, driven to make something of himself, and had a way with charming the people he would meet.   We became friends and have been friends every since.   He eventually opened up to me and his story was just amazing.   For argument sake, lets call this guy Ryan.   Ryan, was a very handsome guy, blonde hair, blue eyes, athletic build and he looked like the All American Man.   The guy that lived next door.   The one that every dad wants his daughter to date and marry.   But, Ryan had a secret.   Well, maybe not a secret but at least a story to tell.   He was gay, but that wasn’t the story or at least it wasn’t a secret.   We were best friends so I already knew that.   No, the story was, that for 10 years, he was part of a group that I will refer to as “Aspire”.    Aspire is a group that “helps” gay men who don’t want to be gay anymore. ...
