ByGraham Gremore Ryan J. Haddad has a message for the world: Hes gay. Hes disabled. And hes sexy as f*ck. And speaking of, ahem, f*cking, he wouldnt mind doing some of that. 25-year-old Haddad is the subject of the first episode of Davey Waveys new digital series #ThisIsMe, which is a series that will feature body image stories of gay men from across the spectrum of our community. Haddad has cerebral palsy and needs a walker to get around. He describes himself as a hairy twink not an otter (he doesnt think he has quite enough hair to qualify as an otter) with nice legs and a very respectable penis.

SELINSGROVE, Pa. (AP) - A beaming Tyler Neitz clutched the hand of Logan Leiby when he stopped at his Hummels Wharf home for a visit early Saturday evening. It was a similar gesture the friends shared a few days earlier when Leiby, a junior at Selinsgrove High School, escorted Neitz to his high school commencement and sat with him throughout the ceremony. Its like a security blanket, holding hands, because he tenses up, said Leiby. Neitz, 20, has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair. Leiby learned about his tendency to clench his hands when anxious while working with him and other disabled students in the schools life skills learning class. A record-setting high school quarterback, Leiby plans a career in elementary and special education.
