A warm hello…I live in a rural community in southern Oregon where I have an art studio on the edge of wi-fi. This is my basic connection to the outside world for now. I was outed here years ago and although I enjoy a certain amount of friends and respect, for the most part people tend to avoid me. Typical behavior, such as, men won't talk to me out the fear they'll be seen with me, or when I do connect with a male friend, his partner or wife will almost immediately eclipse the situation by getting in between us or verbally interrupting our conversation and pulling him away. Or I'll stand alone at community gatherings while new age hippies flit around basking in what they call the Age of Aquarius. I am used to this. So much so, I forgot it was a problem for me. Also, the occaissional straight guy will ask me for an experience, and although I commend them for being brave and curious, it still ends up being something that NOBODY can know about, they stay safe wrapped in hetero acceptance. My point here is not to complain about what is but to verbalize my growing need to rock the boat! I've grown weary of the on-line dating sites, these closeted men have no clue, yet they need to be with men so badly! Men have got to get together for mutual love and acceptance, take it from a homo! Any ideas on how we can blast conventional sexuality back into the inherent cosmic force of expressive love that it is? You ever wonder what drives your lust for men? I'd like to see a world where love between men is never denied. I wish I could save that Iranian man from the death squads. Imagine being hunted for loving. What can we do?
