I would not want to be heterosexual! Being gay is not like being an alien. It is like being percieved of as an alien. Don't get me wrong, belonging is wonderful! Its just not worth what the people offering it want you to sacrifice for it. Christian denominations & 'Christian' 'friends' are good at demanding such unnecessary sacrifices. Martin Buber was right: If there is a Judgement, G-d will not ask me why I did not have hetero sex & breed children I'd be emotionally ill-equipped to tend, but rather, why I was not more myself - the self S/He created me to be. No apologies, no need for explanations - scientific or otherwise - and no being a professional gay person. The Divine commissioned me to love, and, within the framework of my natural affections, I do so. Don't like it? Well, that's not my problem. |

My Interests |
I websurf a lot. Not much for chatter. I was once enslaved to Genealogy. But now I just do occassional personal explorations. I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 1986, when I developed a fistula (which is kept in abeyance now), so the state of my health and stamina varies from day to day. I also like to read people's gay romantic fiction. Not illegal, not paederastic, not snuff, not B/D or S/M. If I wanted any of that, I would read a newspaper. |
Born 30 December 1960 in Broward Co. FL. At the age of 17, I escaped that town with my life intact and sanity impaired. After 4 years in Macon GA, I graduated from Mercer University. Then spent 3 years at Southern Baptist Theological Cemeter...Seminary. A prolonged psychotic episode. |
My Sanctuary? RSeng07, of course! We've been together 20 yrs. |

The introduction to my genealogy webpages |
We met in Louisville, KY in 1990, in a support group (What was the group for? "Ain't nobody's business...") It was not love at first sight, but it was respect at first chat. He let me help him through some rough times, and in doing so, came to love me. I, unintentionally, played hard to get. A teacher he once had told him, referring to his height... "Dynamite comes in small packages." And its true. Rich is courageous, stubborn, tender-hearted, daring, multi-talented, and passionate. A naturally skilled father and teacher. Were it not for Rich, my heart would have turned to stone long ago. |
Then there is D. Dwayne Curry (right). I met him when I was serving time at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary (In 1985 I was released on bad behaviour - their own. ). A forthright and sincere man, whose gentleness amazes me and whose emotional honesty warms and delights me. After Rich, he is my best friend. He has been there when I did not want to see myself as gay, when I was a physical wreck, when I was an emotional leech, and when I was a raving Erinye. There is nothing I wouldn't do for him. He is married to a committed schoolteacher (a lover of murder mysteries) named Jeanie, and they in turn are owned by their son Keegan Connor Curry & their pixie daughter Kia. |

It took 11 years, but I learned to accept my being gay (I refuse resignation, that way lay crutches like alcoholism & sex addiction). Who helped me? Practically no one (though I admit to a warm place in my heart for PFLAG of Louisville, KY). It was completely outside the experience of the people around me. Once I was ready, my acceptance was simple and total. I learned what it means to be a man: being who I am. I have never wanted to be a woman (as some people have asked me). I am how the Most High or the Goddess, random factors, or the Just & Merciful One made me. I would not want to be other than how & who I am. |
If I offended, well... tough. Watching breeders hold hands in malls without getting arrested for public disturbance (unlike if two men held hands) offends me. And hearing someone say "Well, I don't like seeing anyone's Public Displays of Affection! Gay or straight!" misses the point entirely. The point being an unlegislatible, unconsciously but globally granted, license & social privilege that gay adults may attempt to enjoy only at risk of their lives. If you are a member of the AMA (American Masochists Association), I force-feed more of my perspective in the section beneath My Links. |

And don't kid yourselves, a gay male or female is as much a part of the natural order as a breeder. Those who would try to legislate against 'gay marriage' are violating the very social contract they think they are "shoring-up" (As if it were ever in danger), and ignoring over 2000 years of history & tradition. Hysterical, no? As well as redefining (diminishing) what this country, this "Great Experiment" in government, is about. If its a ritual which requires an appointed judge's imprimatur, then it is civic & not religious in nature. First and foremost we are humans, and last time I looked, being both a human and a citizen in this country entitled you to both liberty & the "pursuit of happiness," free from the interference of government - except as gov't upholds your rights in that pursuit. |
