Bejata

Yeah! Bejata is back!

I first wrote about Bejata back in 2006 but Bernard is back from a blog hiatus, so it's time for an update.

Bernard has one of the most corageous, provocative yet heart-warming series written on any blog, Black Gay Men at Midlife.

If it is not easy being a gay black man in America, it can be twice as hard for those reaching middle age. Bernie with this series seeks to expose those stories but what he also does is to expose the misconceptions, hypocrisies and ageism that exist within the black gay community and use that opportunity to start a dialogue about "what's next".

Check out the whole series. Another favorite? His sports archives. You're going to have a hell of a blog ride.

Michael Rogers has become turned his blog into the bane of every closeted gay Republican's existence.

People who think Michael outs closeted gay Republicans for sport, should think again. He does it because he truly believes that anybody who votes for anti-gay legislation and takes money from the extreme right all the while having sex with men is a menace, nay, a pox on not just the gay community but all of society as well.

I love him for every single "I'm not gay" utterance coming from the extreme right. They deserve to have a Michael Rogers on their asses.

Published by Kortney Ryan Ziegler, M.A. : My reasons for blogging are many, but most important, I blog to improve my writing, to connect with other bloggers of color, and to provide a space where my research has an audience outside of academia.

Fetch me my axe

belledame222 is one of those wandering souls of the blogosphere that leaves a goddamn amazing impression everywhere she decides set camp : "Ruminating, speculating, pontificating, luxuriating, eviscerating. And cheese. And some other things. I can't name all of them here, I'm just mysterious that way. Did I say "mysterious?" I meant "lazy." Oh, well".

Words to live by

I always have difficulty expressing my political judgments in a clear, emphatic, and strong wayâ€”I feel pretentious, as if I'm saying things that are not quite true. This is because I know I cannot reduce my thoughts about life to the music of a single voice and a single point of viewâ€”I am, after all, a novelist, the kind of novelist who makes it his business to identify with all of his characters, especially the bad ones. Living as I do in a world where, in a very short time, someone who has been a victim of tyranny and oppression can suddenly become one of the oppressors, I know also that holding strong beliefs about the nature of things and people is itself a difficult enterprise. I do also believe that most of us entertain these contradictory thoughts simultaneously, in a spirit of good will and with the best of intentions. The pleasure of writing novels comes from exploring this peculiarly modern condition whereby people are forever contradicting their own minds. It is because our modern minds are so slippery that freedom of expression becomes so important: we need it to understand ourselves, our shady, contradictory, inner thoughts, and the pride and shame that I mentioned earlier.
