Best Gay Blog 7

Scotty (which is not his real name, but with some research you can find it on his blog) is 41 and lives with his partner in Bedford, Indiana; where an average home costs $103,600 and the crime rate is less than 1/3 it is for any other average small city in America.

The first thing you will notice about his blog cleverly called “The Other Side of Straight” is the uniquely deep green colored background (for those copycats out there – it is color #e8eced). The content on the blog is a nice mix of personal (such as a coming of age sex in the bathroom) stories and things to keep you coming back for more (such as half-nekkid Thursdays). The ongoing topic though that tugged a heartstring for me (as a gay father) is his struggles with his X wife (and her husband) around his children. Scotty has 2 daughters and a son from a previous straight marriage. Fortunately, he has 50% physical custody – but unfortunately there is an ongoing battle for full custody and recent talk of the mother wanting to move to LA. Go check it out yourselves to get the latest on this and other tidbits of Scotty’s life (including his latest weigh-in).
