I marched in Pride for the umpteenth time over the weekend. This still surprises me. I once believed that in order for me to have any kind of a succesful creative life, I had to stay in the closet. Indeed, being gay has inspired many stories. My work has also been supported by the gay and lesbian community. And the straight community who find value in reading diverse voices.I'm reminded of the X-Men Movie: The Last Stand. The mutants are given the opportunity to "cure" themselves of their "illness." There's nothing to cure, said Storm. There's nothing wrong with you.
If I had the opportunity to cure my gayness, would I take it? Hail Naw. Why would I give up my special powers?

I believe this is the first time I see you post a picture of yourself .. lol
Great photo! Made me break out in smiles.
Glad to see you having a good time. That is you, right?
Is that really you? Hard to tell in those dark glasses and hat.
Yeah, it's me. Or maybe not.
