I want to take a minute to write about my amazing girlfriend Danielle. She has been here for me through so much. Her love keeps me going. I was discharged from the Air Force in April of 2009 for being too gay. I had no place to go when I got out. I came to CT because a friend from online needed some help after her heart surgery. She grew bitter because her online relationship with a supposed Welsh nuero surgeon did not turn out the way she hoped. I was having a very hard time, I was depressed and suicidal and in a very bad place. I ended up going to the UCONN in-patient psychiatric unit for two weeks. While I was there she took all my belongings and put them in my car and told me I could not come back to stay with her.The social worker at the hospital found me a homeless shelter in Meriden and I was released Christmas Eve. A couple weeks after I arrived at the shelter Danielle arrived. She took my breath away. I was immediately attracted to her. I was thinking in my head over and over I hope she is gay…I hope she is gay. However, she asked me on the first night, am I allowed to talk to my boyfriend who is downstairs on the men’s floor? I was crushed at that. She continuously tried to talk to me, she was very touchy, as in she put her hands on me a lot. I tried very hard to ignore my feelings for her. The more I grew to know her the harder that became. One night we were lying in my bed watching Pocahontas and her head was in my lap. I was running my fingers through her hair and gently grazing her neck. I could feel this great amount of passion between us. I wanted to kiss her so badly but A) she had a boyfriend and  B) we would both be kicked out of the shelter. We became very cuddly and close after that night. A couple days later we were at the park on a very cold day. We took out a warm blanket and cuddled underneath it making a nice warm burrito. I could not help but kiss her. We kissed passionately and my hands began to wander. The next thing I know we are making love right there in our burrito in the park, January 21, 2010. This is what we call our burrito day. From this day on she was mine. We have been inseparable since. We got an apartment with another friend from the shelter. She stole all our money and screwed us over. We had to leave the apartment because we did not have the money for rent. Now we are staying in hotels and barely scraping by. She has been by my side through everything. She is the love of my life, my forever.
