· 3 pulledSix gay guys in the city of Toronto moved against me.
Each of these men had dumped me, forcing me to reckon with the fact that what must have bonded them together was their rejection of me.
I'm sick of being ignored by the same Toronto-famous art hoes, twunks, circuit gays and daddies on Grindr.
