Are you an LGBT person who's had an inspiring life, overcome a great challenge (not to mention homophobia), or done something extraordinary? Or do you know someone who fits the bill? Check this out:
"Logo's Real Momentum Profiles highlight real people with authentically inspiring lives. Tell us your story and you could be the subject of a two-minute documentary vignette shot by Logo that will showcase your extraordinary life."
You can read more about this, as well as read some of the profiles that have already been done (and watch the videos) at the following web site. You can also enter your life story as well!

Nice idea! Go for it!

Gay Parties
How come gay people throw the best parties? Bicurious.
Do we? Well, I remember years ago some Caucasian friends saying that African-Americans "really know how to party" and, therefore, they threw the best parties, and I've heard the same thing said about other minority groups. It's not meant as an insult but it can be a little patronizing. I suppose some gay people say that gays throw the best parties as a simple expression of gay pride. Some straight people might think that gay parties are better because gays (some gays, I hasten to add) are more "fabulous" and colorful, and therefore more "fun". It's generally meant in a positive way but it can be awfully condescending.
Of course some straight-identified, conflicted individuals say gay people throw the best parties simply so they can explain what the hell they were doing at a gay party in the first place!

Welcome!
No, I'm not a doctor. I'm a professional author who's been Out and Proud for many years, and I've seen -- and experienced -- just about everything. I want to share my knowledge with my gay brothers and sisters and other interested parties. Please send your sincere and respectful questions about gay life, homosexuality, and gay people to me at trock4304@mypacks.net. I will respect your privacy and never give out personal information. I will post questions here with my responses --always from a perspective of Gay Pride -- along with comments from readers. Let's go on an enlightening and informative journey together.
