Showing results for "A Birthday" in LGBTQ+

Martin Milnes was born in the wrong era or at least that's how it seemed. As a child, he wore jazz-shoes to his junior school disco, expecting eight-year-olds to Mambo like the dancers in West Side Story.... But his childhood and school days were no Broadway musical. Martin was different: the cat who walked alone. Birthdays, stingingly empty, held a horrific reminder that he possessed no talent for friendship. Yet once Martin emerged on stage, the jeering turned to cheering; the lonely void was filled by Hollywood stars of yesteryear, worshiped from afar.

Sam isn’t at all looking forward to his 23rd birthday. Why would he want to celebrate another year of grueling, boring office work and striking out in dating? He hates his physique, and he can hardly even think about dating, anyway, what with his confusing feelings for his best (straight) friend Mitchell. If only he’d been born a girl, he might have had a shot with him.
