Atlanta is so Gay

Folks, It has been a minute since we communicated so here is a run down of the events you should know about. My first week at the new job was terrific. The place is so different from the previous experience. Have you ever taken a paycut for peace of mind? I did and I am proud that I did. Hoping that you are having a good time with your job as I am having with mine. In other news:
This past weekend, I was privileged to attend the first annual Click awards here in Atlanta. The event recognized current LGBT persons who are doing amazing work in our community. All the who's who were there. I want to thank the organizers for the opportunity to witness and be part of History. (Note: Please be a little more organized the next time, our heroes and sheroes deserved a little more than that. ) Back to my point.
Harmonica Sunbeam a living legend hosted the show and turned the kids out as she always does. Thank you Ms. Sunbeam for the laughter.
Trust me when i say, the kids came dressed to the nines. Some Gurls brought out limos and things; while other gurls pranced the room with the furs. This gurl went to Dillards and got a cute little outfit, i was looking so cute! This was my first so called social event in Atlanta and it was completely worth the wait. Atlanta is doing big thangs.
Did you know
Atlanta was recently named third among the top three cities with Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered persons. Yes, Atlanta beat New York, DC, and Dallas. Take that... Ms. Atlanta is hot honey! The gurls are flocking to her by the bus loads. The question is, if there are so may homosexuals in the City, why don't we have a Gay community. Yes, I see the gurls on Marta, I see the gurls at Moorehouse, and i see the gurls come into the clinic each and every day, but where is the sense of Gay community in Atlanta. Well, when i walk down tenth street, I kinda get the feel for a gay community that the White children have built, but we Brothas and Sistahs have yet to place a stake in the ground and created something of our own why is that? Something to think about. I don't plan on asking the question to others without asking it to myself, as a result I am praying that it be in God will that I help to establish a Black Gay community beyond the clubs, bars, clinic visits or sex parties in the great Metropolis. Starting with blog and going beyond that, I am discussing the plans to create something fresh for this City and community. Anyone with an interest that is similar, please hit me up so that we can begin the project. If you have breath in your lungs than there will be something you can do. The time for sitting back has expired. No longer will i subsidize my oppression through complacency. Join me, if you dare.

Even though I am an honorary member of the GLBT, I think they are pulling it together. At one point in the black community it was non existence that the GLBT community was together. At which point the black GLBT was in crisis. Atlanta was and still is a black Mecca in the United States, now it’s becoming a type of Mecca for the black GLBT community. Atlanta is now getting black GLBTs from every part of the country and a lot of them are activist for the GLBT community. And that is where the togetherness is coming from.

Thanks for the blog, as always it was informative.

I echo your thoughts. I will be getting in touch with you real soon. Let's create a real Black GLBT community in Atlanta beyond the clubs.
