XEM, Omg this has been a daily thing for me, to wake up and do the "morning routine", and turn here to see whats new.
This video, affected me on so many levels, myself i can say tht i was one who had to deal with being somewhat of being alone and abandoned by my mom, mentally not physically. i can say me comming out in 2003, was a crazy feeling, i was jus getting out of hs and in community college, it was a lil hard', knowing tht i have this secret and just tryin to play this "hetero" illusion. I had to deal with the so called "accusations" of being this way and not being accepeted by my own moms at one point, and yea it hurts but i think, luckily we're not like tht anymore but i can understand where any "Young Gay Male" is coming from. This was really a touching video and again i commend you for all ya work and giving us something to always think about and reflect on our past.
WOW this video brought up some memories of my coming out 10 year ago. My mother wasn't supportive, but she wasn't helpful either...I guess she was afraid and didn't know what to do...I can only thank GOD for holding me strong and firm in my belief that I would be more than anyone know I could. I thank you for posting this video it meant a lot to me and I am sure it will help those young men out there that need guidance and support...now all we are the mothers to do what is in their nature and LOVE their sons...
You speak on so many wonderful topics. I'm thankful to finally have found a youtube channel geared toward the betterment of the black gay community. I never exactly understood why many other gay guys act the way they do... but I believe that this lays the foundation for the development of the corruption in their mentalities and how they deal with other people.
Heh... I'm a blogger myself and in my blogs I've often questioned it. Never did I come across a better possibility.
