I'm Tom. I'm 17. I'm Gay. I'm optimistic about my future. I believe that art is the most important thing in this world and is my one true interest, and by art i dont just mean that picture on the wall. Art is an expression of emotion whether it be simplistic and happy or complex and somber. Art for me is being yourself, keeping an open mind, and daring to be different. The Life of a Gay High School Student: boys, katy perry, life in orange county California, cars, bikes, sailing, ap classes, friends, traveling, gay rights, pop culture, my childhood, and my future. My blog isn't meant to change the world, its a unique mix of a gay rights blog and a personal blog, but hopefully it will put a smile to your face like it does to mine (:
