It's Confirmed!

My life partner, Alan, was running some errands in Manhattan when suddenly he spotted a shiny, silver head ahead of him. He knew immediately that it belonged to Anderson Cooper, upon closer inspection, Alan noticed that he had just come out of the gym on 23rd Street at 7th Avenue, Barton's Gym, and he wasn't alone, Benjamin was at his side, they were both walking their bikes. But what Alan was most impressed with was the wide smile on Anderson's face. "It was clearly the smile of someone very happy," Alan told me. "The smile on a face that was clearly a person in love." Alan knew right there and then that Anderson and Benjamin were, unmistakably, two love doves. Alan said that Anderson's happiness was contagious, Anderson's smile made all around him smile with great content -- not only for the couple, but for themselves as well. What Alan saw (and, needless to say, I was very envious) was, undisputedly, the face of love... more accurately, the face of GAY Love! A wonderful sight to experience. Lucky Alan!

How do all those hot, buffed guys dancing shirtless at Splash tone their bodies (apart from eating nothing but protein shakes from Energy Kitchen and faux-ice cream from Pinkberry and Tasti D-Lite)? They work out at Chelsea's preeminent gym, David Barton, which has long had a popular gay following. This spotless, well-equipped facility is at 215 W. 23rd St. at 7th Ave.


David Barton -- straight, married with children, owner of many David Barton gyms all over the country.
