Paper asked me to write personal take on 25th Anniversary of Pride
by morrisamb incopyright the london free press, july 28th sat edition;.
by donald dhaene a little more then a decade after the stonewall riots in new york began the modern gay rights movement, i came this close to participating in londons first gay pride event, a picnic on a sunday afternoon in gibbons park.
that first year, i still hadnt met a real, live homosexual or so i had thought.. other than being raised on their eternal damnation, my only introduction was when my public schools years-ahead-of-her-time librarian held up for us eighth graders a special book on homosexuality.. i swear she winked in my direction as she matter-of-factly suggested, if you receive your parents permission, you may sit in my office and read it.

by Big Tex inthis is sort of an fyi-type post i thought of after speaking with someone offline.
i don't know if this information has been specifically addressed but since knowledge is power i wanted to pass this along:
many larger cities have free rape counseling for women (and men).

My article published today (I mention publicly how I was disassociated)
by morrisamb inwhy should orientation affect my self-respect?.
the london free press, july 3, 2006. pride could be defined as having a sense of one's own proper dignity or value; self-respect.
i recently was reminded of my own journey towards that feeling in a most original setting.. i just wonder, can you talk about anything non-gay?.
