Just A Thought

      I have one big issue with the gay community. We for the most part are self hating. Not all of us but a big part of us do. When i say self hating I'm talking about us hating on us. You all touched on the subject in one of the last shows but didn't really go to deep into it. I mean really how can we as a community more forward in the world if we're constantly holding each other back.
      I recently started noticing how we as gay individuals shone each other. I mean if it's not because of size, it's looks. If it's not looks, it's your level of masculinity, if it's not that, it's your HIV status. I mean the list goes on and on. And the part that really gets me the most is that it usually comes from the Black LGBT community more so than any other. My biggest question is, with all the things that we as a people have been through in the last 5-800 years, why after it all have we become or worst enemy. I watched something on tv years ago that said that blacks worst enemy is blacks. We blame the white man, and the straight people. politicians and even in some cases or parents and families for what we're going through. Are we ever going to get it together as a people. And with all these new laws being passed for homosexuals to live freely in the country not having to hide who we are, why aren't we taking this more seriously, and pulling together using these new freedoms to better the trials and struggles of our community. I listen to people get made at others and spread rumors of hiv to try and exclude certain people from the group. I see us turning out backs on one another because of not being masculine. I mean me myself I'm not really into DL guys but it doesn't give me a reason to bash them or point them out trying to cause an uprising against that group. they're still apart of this thing we call family.
     I just really thing that if we can come together within our own community and and solve some of the self hating issues that we bring on each other that we ourselves can then make a better impact on how the world treats us. And I think as a whole that more people would feel better about coming out of that closet that they're living in. That's one of the reasons that i love watching this show. i love to see my fellow gay family trying to do something for US and trying to understand the different issues of US. If we don't help us, who the hell will.

thanks for listening.
