WE THE "GAY" PEOPLE...

WE FIND OURSELVES GUILTY OF DEGRADING OUR COMMUNITY by supporting hurtful images that portray negative images of us. WE FIND OURSELVES GUILTY OF DEFAMING OUR WOMEN AND MEN by not respecting the perfect diversity, that each of us brings to the community. WE FIND OURSELVES GUILTY OF ACCEPTING DISRECPECT by patronizing churches that put forth demeaning and disrespectful images in our community. WE FIND OURSELVES GUILTY OF NOT STANDING UP by allowing the world to diminish who we are and what we are really about. However, to this I say that WE CAN END THIS TODAY, we can do what it takes to bring the PEACE and HORMONY that those before us was trying to achieve. I know that A. I. D. S. and H. I. V. has shattered and destroyed the community, but it is up to us to pick up the pieces and not let those before us die in vain. I find it sad that we are not PASSIONATE about OUR well-being and survival. I find it disenchanting to know that we do not have that FIRE deep inside of ourselves. I find it hurtful that we do not approach LIFE’S circumstances and challenges in a real way to both others and ourselves. We stifle our creative side and do not express ourselves in depth and knowledge. I would think that WE all know that the time for silence and holding back are long gone, WE need to stand proud and take our place in the sun. At this stage of life, we should be RUNNING FREE and EXPLORING LIFE with perseverance and consistency. WE have the inner ability to strive on and proceed in POWER, LOVE and a SOUND MIND excelling to higher heights. The world knows that if WE STRIVE ON WITH PASSION, LET WISDOM BE OUR GUARD, AND LET UNDERSTANDING BUILD OUR CHARACTER we will shine in OUR TRUE BEAUTY with SINCERITY and PURITY. WE RE THE HIDDEN TREASURE WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED; we hold the key to the door that WE locked ourselves. I WANT US TO REMEMBER THAT THE POT CANNOT TALK ABOUT THE SKILLET BECAUSE BOTH OF THEM ARE BURNED UP. WE CANNOT ACHIEVE ONE~NESS WITH JUST OUR LITTLE CLICKS AND CREWS. WE CANNOT ACCEPT THE SCRAPS FROM THE TABLE OF LIFE AND SAY ITS GOURMET WHEN WE KNOW THAT IT IS NOT. WE NEED TO WAKE UP AND REALIZE THAT JUST HOW MAN CAN’T LIVE BY BREAD ALONE, WE CAN’T LIVE BY F&CKING OVER EACH OTHER AND TEARING DOWN OUR FELLOW SAME-SEX BROTHER OR SISTER. WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE A STRONG, UNITED AND COLLECTIVE FRONT; THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO ENSURE OUR SURVIVAL…
