Hello, Joe, and 
to GaySpeak... I'm kind of hoping that it won't be too long till you find someone you might have a relationship with, even though you are disabled...
Gradually society is copping onto the fact that even disabled people have desires and wish for a sex life. I guess it's a bit harder for gay disabled people... Our friend Joseph, who's been on here a while, is looking too, although his disability is different from yours.
I'd just like to remind you, while not disqualifying your search, that even able-bodied people can have trouble finding the right partner, and when gay, it may take a long long time before you even allow yourself to find that partner. I should know, I waited 18 long years before meeting my current partner. The wait was worth it.
To be practical, I think there would be an opportunity there to create a website for people like you, who feel isolated, but come to think of it... this is such a site, where you can come and find friends, and maybe more if two minds think alike and click. Stranger things happen.
What sort of relationship would you be looking for? Would you, like Joseph, wish to find someone who was also disabled? What are the qualities you are looking for in a man? ... Let's try to be realistic, of course. After all, Prince Charming is slightly overrated, huh???
Good luck, Joe.
PS, I hope this doesn't come over as flippant... I meant it to be humorous.
mile:
Oh, and, btw, Joseph never lets anyone forget that he's gay... it's one of the things he's most proud of, and by being honest with himself and others, he's keeping all his options open, I believe. It's brave of him to admit it (and unfortunately he has to repeat it time and time again, because some people don't understand it) but at the same time it's a positive thing that he can hold on to. Are you open about being gay?
