WOW another year has passed and it’s time for the US to celebrate during this month that gave the GLBT there freedom today. Still there is a long way to go we’re better off today than we were years ago running around in the closet scared to really be who you are. Fear of loosing your job or jailed and committed as most thought it was a disease or mental problem. It’s funny how everyone what to rule the world. Thanks god we have liberals who are standing up for Gay rights, especially in the marriage arena. Although we’ve making head way with this subject it’s slow going. I have double standard towards me as being a black man it’s found upon to be Black and gay. Although we know there are plenty of gay men in the world, its one of the reason why the Down Low came into play. The ones who are on the down low could be married and with children but still looking for something they are missing in their life. Saying they aren’t gay is and obvious statement as the way I feel about it when you lay down with a woman you are straight and when you lay down with a man you are gay. It’s like Bill Clinton saying I didn’t have sexual relations with that woman. One can debate about that but can you justify what you are doing? The way I see it a dog is still a dog. However it’s not just backs who run around as Hispanics aren’t innocent either. The Hispanic culture is more about family, good catholic back ground and I like that. However when a family member announces he is gay you are ousted in a heart beat. Will we as gay men and women every find peace with in this nation we live in? I don’t know. However we can stride to get here by celebrating what got us to this point. Pride is something we all should be proud of and remember out Queen Sisters and brothers for standing up to New York’s finest. Here we are close to forty years and for me I can say it’s great to be a gay man. For those who are interested to attend the parade here in Houston which is held at night by the way, it’s always held on the last weekend of the month. This year it’s Saturday the twenty seventh. This is usually and all day event with parade to follow before night falls and well into the night. It’s usually over around eleven o’clock. Again have a happy month my friends. Until fingers meet keys.
