This nation was also highly based on Roman and Greek laws and ideas but
you don't hear much talk about that. In God we trust, yes, but it's more
the abstract idea in believing and trusting in what's right and good for
the people...not literally tying our govt to a particular religion. Again,
many, if not most people came to this country to escape religious
persecution and the freedom of religion. That means that our govt doesn't
need to be condoning any single religious belief whether it's Christian,
bhudist, Islamic, Jesuit and so on.

Our country was founded on GOD. 'In God we Trust' is on our Money. Our pledge of allegance. If people in this country didn't have their faith in God then I believe that a lot of things in the country wouldn't be here today without that faith. I feel it should have stayed there.

what they don't understand in the world today, which is the result of poor
education and a lack of knowledge about the world in general. These people
don't like alot of what they see happening in the world and they are

i recognize and appreciate what they did as well but they're almost a
relic at this point because so much has changed even recently. To go on
acting like things are so horrible is really out of step with the times.
Almost half of Americans now feel that gays deserve equal rights and
that's a huge step in a positive direction. "Stonewallers" are often the
ones who are very out of touch with the real world and wall themselves off
into little gay enclaves with no or little contact with people unlike
themselves. Maybe that's why they still think that gays are at war.

also is very much a split between generations. Older gay men who I call "Stonewallers"
and who tend to be overly obsessed with gay issues and the gay lifestyle
are also of course very much tied to the AIDS cause. That's a good thing
and it all makes sense considering the disease really affected thier
generation. However, The new movement today is for younger guys to really
intergrate themselves into society in general and that means much less
focus on gay issues and the lifestyle. I think it's all normal and healthy
except for the fact that AIDS as an issue is being pushed aside. It's
coming back to bite us and all young people in the#####though.

well, first off, I didn't know that you're straight and a supporter but
that's awesome and thanks for adding input to the board. as far as HIV
goes, I think the main reason is the age of most people on this board. I
think young people in general are pretty apathetic to the issue of HIV
because it has been talked to death and people pretty much know the facts.
However, young people do think they're invincible and would never think
they could catch it. Another factor is that I think many young gays are
sick of the issue because it has really been pushed into our laps as being
a gay-only disease. I think that has caused a backlash against wanting to
even discuss the issue.

I've posted an article about it last week and it didn't even rate a response. It's in the L.A. Times archives now, so I will need to extract it so that I can post it again. I think it's important. It may be embarrassing to talk about but embarrassment is better than death.
I admit that I am a recent straight PFLAG supporter of gay rights, so I don't have to face this scourge myself. But many young gays whom I advise seem to think they are invulnerable, immortal......which is not the case. Gay Pairing/partnering is a very good way to prevent HIV,....that is if the partners do not have an "open" relationship.
Okay, I'll get off my soap box....

Also, I'm tired of gay ment thinking this ISN'T a gay disease..an overwhelming majority of new cases IN THE UNITED STATES are of gay men, keep it real guys. Additionally, I think part of the complacency has come with these new drugs and how they can prolong your life. It's a big red herring.. who wants to take 8,000 pills a day and deal with the side effects? There is a difference between "living" and "staying alive"..people just don't get it.

Being independant can be good for you and there's nothing wrong with it.
However, there's something very wrong with being codependant and too many
gay guys fall into that category. Don't think i'm labeling you as this at

Not sure if any of you guys are jazz fans, but thought I'd let you know about Peter Cincotti nevertheless.
Peter transcends jazz, embracing even those that don't consider themselves jazz fans This guy is amazing. He's a 20 year old singer, composer and pianist.
I saw him perform in Holland several years ago, and now he's finally breaking more into a mainstream audience. His sound is very clever, and very cool to get into.
Even better, he's here in Seattle this week at Jazz Alley. Definitely check him out if you're looking for something new and refreshing. I'm going tonight with a couple friends.

Its occurred to me that we could very well see a backlash against gays that isn't all unlike that which African Americans saw in the 50's and 60's. However, I think the situation for gays is different. While there are undoubtably people who have passionate opinions on either side of the issue of gay rights (marriage, anti-discrimination), these days it feels that most Americans really could careless either way. This is very representative of how the American psyche works in the 21st century versus the mid 20th.

I don't know about the people here but there are way too many guys out
there who do live in a gay fantasy world where everyting is gay and
they've lost touch with alot of reality. However, alot of hate exists out
there from people who don't care if you live in a gay fantasy world or not
and who are going to hate you no matter how well adjusted you are.
Regardless, there are just as many gays out there who want nothing to do
with the straight world as vice versa.

Sometimes I think some of you guys that come here live in a world that is way too 'gay' --- I know being gay is a big part of you, but the only thing that's really different is your sexual preference. When you start to separate yourself from other folks, that's when things get ugly. When I first came out, I really thought that I needed to be part of some gay community of some sort - to help me deal and understand, but after about a month or so, I was back with my old friends doing what I did, but with a change: I dated guys openly and went out to dinner with other couples - gay or straight. I know I kind of changed the topic here and I'm not trying to get anything started, but sometimes I think some of you guys that are here every single solitary day of the week, need to get out more and realize that there is a whole world who will accept it - and if they don't, you shouldn't always think it's because you're gay - maybe it's because you lock yourself into a way you're supposed to be and they're not comfortable with it - just like you may not be comfortable with someone who is always talking about being Islamic - day in, day out - and everything they put in your face has to do with the Nation of Islam. Just tell them not to hate, but to congratulate.

about this the other day. I really think a huge backlash against gays
might begin to happen soon as the visibility of gays increases and equal
rights are on the table. There are many out there who are determined from
letting gays live in peace and this could be the beginning of something
ugly.

I am in Boston actually. I had a college lecture in Waltham which is just outside of Boston, so I flew into Logan for the lecture and I was to fly out of Logan to go home. I was supposed to fly out at 5 from the Logan Airport here in Boston, but obviously that's not going to happen. I probably sound all disjointed and crazy, but I am a little overwhelmed. I am in the boiler room of the Marriott borrowing the engineer's computer because the internet access in the business center was down. I will be stuck here in Boston until someone tells me different. I just want to say thank you to all of you who are concerned. I am very gracious that I didn't get on the flight, but I am also very much sad for those who lost their lives on all of those flights or in all those buildings in Washington and New York. Julie was going to fly standby on that flight, but overslept and was into a whole bunch of other stuff, so thank goodness for that! I want to say I hope everyone in your family is safe. My heart goes out to everyone. It's a very sad day. Mom, Dad, Marlene, Michael, Maurice, Kera, Anisa and her family, Jason, Jason's entire family, my brother-in-law Marvin, Jeff, Michelle, Cheryl, Penna and everybody in my family, Kelley, Peter, Matt, Julie, Jamie, Danny, Paul, David, all my friends, I hope you are well......

As for the documentary last night, it was all unbelievable, yet not
surprising. It shows though how things are changing quickly in the
workplace in America. That doc was pretty old and most of the situations
have really changed, especially with Cracker Barrel. Can you believe they
claim it never was their policy?! I didn't eat there for years until they
finally reversed their policy. The stock Trader's story was incredible and
talk about adults acting like children. The best part was the hicks in
Georgia quoting the bible as saying that "homosexuals should be
assasinated...and that there's no worse abomination than gays except for
Jews!" I love that quote because it showed how hateful these people were
not just against gays, but against anyone not like them. idiots.

For me, it's not focusing on oppressors, it's about having a deep understanding of how oppression works without pointing fingers.
I'm not the kind to point fingers or to fixate. Instead, I see understanding oppression as a way of better understanding why things are the way they are. I also find it rather fascinating actually.
When I was younger, I never understood the origin of so much of the bull#### that exists in our society. Having a better understanding now has really allowed me to be more open to people, and living in Seattle has really caused me to think about things.

when faced with overt discrimination face to face, action should obviously
be taken. But, some things are out of an individuals hands and that's when
it's important not to let another man's hate rain on your parade. That's
when you must live your life in defiance of what others expect you to be
and show them otherwise. Don't let it get to you so much because you're
letting them win. I think it also has alot to do with living in Seattle. I
think you feel extremely issolated and are confusing that with being
surrounded by racism. I don't think alot of people here are racists,
they're just extremely white and have no connection with a world of color.
That would be difficult for anyone to deal with. It's human nature to want
to be around those more like yourself. You should head back to Atlanta
with me when I go.

there's some truth to this but it's not all truth. I also think it's very

That only adds fuel to the negative fire. I get sick of gays doing the
same thing. It's important to pick up your dignaty and do something about
what's wrong instead of just griping about it. That's how things really
change.

Here's the passage:
Black people living in an imperialist, white supremacist, capitalist, patriarchial culture are daily subjected to shaming. The entire world of advertising and the mass media in general, which sends both the covert and overt message that blackness is negative, is part of the propoganda machinery of shaming. No black child who watches television every day for even a few hours can escape the indoctrination of white supremacist-based aesthetics that relentlessly convery the message that to be black is to be defective, flawed.
What do you think? Or is this merely more griping?
