You have reached the backwoods home of Gay Country Wes. Have a seat and kick off your shoes! Spend a little time looking around. My country home is yours, or in other words, mi casa es su casa! I’m gonna sit here beside ya and have a nice cold Colt 45®.
Let’s talk a little bit about who I am. I grew up in Southwest Alabama, but I now live near Atlanta, GA. Yeah, that’s still in the South! It’s a deep part of me that isn’t going anywhere. I love to go fishing, hiking, camping, and do other outdoor things. I even like to work in the garden every now and then. I have a love of books and underwear. Yeah, I know those two don’t generally tie together, but a love is a love. It’s gone past an interest and is now part of my being.
I graduated from a local technical college with an associates degree in Accounting and in Residential Architectural Design. They are both interests of mine. Oh, and yeah, I’m gay. OMG, yes! That’s right! I’m a big ol’ Mo. You fisherman with your big rods…yes you…I’ve got a big rod (and reel) and I love fishing for catfish! I haven’t made it into the woods to hunt yet, but that isn’t totally out of the question. So hunters, ya’ll are safe…for the time being.
The purpose of my blog and the accompanying podcasts has somewhat changed since its inception back in 2009. I still want it to be a shining light to those who are gay and who associate themselves with being country. It’s not an easy thing to do as every day, there are people who scream and shout how being country means being the baddest, biggest man and doing only things they consider manly. That couldn’t be farther from the truth. Hell, podcasting and blogging wouldn’t fall into that characterization.
One is as country as one feels and believes. Being country is a belief, backed up by a feeling and a yearning for simpler things than people find in cities and surrounding areas. I find myself yearning for that each and every day of my life. It’s funny how when I was a teenager, that was the last thing I wanted because I thought it was terribly boring. Now, as an adult, I see that as peace and tranquility and something of which I don’t get enough. It’s out there and I want it.
You hear so little about being gay and country. It’s really sad and I want this to be an example and a place where those men can see there are others like them. Another thing I’ve noticed is that many (not all) think that being gay means there can’t be any interest in sports, and that isn’t always on a field. I want to get into contact with other gay men and lesbians who like to live in nature.
Now, don’t think I am some rough and tumble guy. I have my soft spots and I have my likes that aren’t considered manly on any scale. Those would have to include my uncanny ability to tell you how the family trees on Days of our Lives have evolved over the years. Yes, I can do that. Other interests would obviously be writing, reading, listening to a wide range of music, and dabbling in HTML, XHTML, and a little CSS. And yes, I do look at other men while I am doing all of the mentioned interests!

Wes, you are, without a doubt, genuine gentleman who has the heart of poet and hears the call of the country. I do enjoy your log immensely! You are also a very handsome guy! I long to be in the country and to wake up to deer and woodpeckers (peckers LOL) near my door. I not only appreciate nature; I respect it.
thanks again!

country boy at heart

Hello Wes and everyone! well, i’m not a “country boy”, i was raised in a city, but i loooove outdoors and I have practice plenty of them, so let’s abolish stereotypes! I really like hiking, rapeling and my favourite is triathlon including the extreme ones! Yes we are gay but that doesn’t mean weak, nelly or afraid… We like to get dirty too!
hey Westerly! I sure do miss you bunches and seeing you in those underwear personally. It is a treat boys…..
Lot’s of us like to hunt and fish and hike and be outdoors. We’re just ready to smash the stereotypes.
Great website. As someone who grew up on a dairy farm and who is also gay. I really get where you are coming from. Do you dip too? As a gay guy who also dips (skoal, long cut) I really get some questions from the city guys!! What can I say…. It’s a country thing!
Good looking guy and nice rottie!
Wow.. and here i thought i was the only country gay guy.. guess i was wrong.. i was born in Virginia in a very small town and when i was 21 i moved to california for college and once i got here in cali. i was like dang its ok to be gay and thought i would never be able to return to virginia because of the way my family and most of the ppl in my town are, but i see things are changing.. I’m very glad to have visited your site.. very interestin things..

You have a new fan!! I come to ATL several times a year maybe we can visit Gladys Knight & Ron Winan’s Chicken And Waffles. There are several other eateries in ATL that I love. I can’t think of the name of the one which serves shrimp & grits. Stay Well!

I just found your site, and I love it. I am also a single gay male living on a small farm in WV.
Hello Wes
I just had to say hello! I like the fact I see there is another Country/Cowboy that is Gay! I am a Rancher in East Texas and everyone (Gays) think I am crazy to live out in the middle of no where! I have Cattle and horses and live out on the ranch by myself. Because there are not any gay guys that really enjoy the Ranching lifestyle. Sure they like to dress up as a cowboy, but when it comes to step in a a pile, they scream! LOL Like to get to know you!

Just stumbled across your site and gotta say I love it! I grew up on a small farm and there are times even a town as small as Little Rock makes me wanna take off screaming and move back to the boondocks.
Could agree more about gay men not fitting into that famous “box” people like to assign with labels…I am a big sports fan, especially college football, basketball and SEC baseball(GO HOGS!)…and, the Winter Olympics are HERE! Like curling(and been ribbed about it)and Luge and any number of things to help pass the cold night in front of the TV.
Thanks for the site and the opportunity to respond,
Brent
