Meeting men on the internet
2000
At 18 years old around 2000 Michael began to surf the internet to meet other gay men "the internet became quite addictive, because you were always on there". It helped him network and arranged to meet someone at Route on Hurst Street. This was his first gay club experience. He fell in love with a chat-site date but it didn't work out.
