Manhood is an
aspiration. It is a lofty and admirable goal that not every male can see or
recognize. The road to manhood bestows respect on the individual male from
inside because manhood is measured by the degree of difficulty attempted and
achieved. The conditions one faces in confronting the obstacles to survival, in
terms of degree of difficulty, may change, making life easier or more
difficult, but the end result will always be the same because there are only
two options. One either meets the challenges and overcomes them and embraces a
true manhood, or one seeks to avoid struggle and pain at any cost and becomes
less. It is always as simple as that.
The road to
manhood is, and should be, difficult. The struggles undertaken by homosexuals
aspiring to manhood insure the development of an internalized control over
one's appetites, an awareness of our and our enemies' cultural history, and a
clear understanding that one's responsibility to the life and resources of his
community takes precedence over all other callings. It requires inner strength
and consciousness. Struggle is the foundation of the homosexual manhood, struggle
hones us, it defines us, and it makes us men.
