  1. Men of Interest

    Tuesday, September 3, 2013

     

     
     
     
     
    These are some men who I’d be interested in knowing more personally.  This is only a selection of a bigger list.
     

    Some are dead.  (This would include my father.  We only knew of each other.  I was fortunate for my first eleven years to have a grandfather who cared about me.)

    Some are gay. 
    Meet the black, gay, badass pacifist mastermind behind the March on Washington who is finally getting his due.

    (Author James Baldwin helped me to begin to understand some of my own relatives and what being white means to them.)  
     

    Some are gay and dead. 

    Some are already in very committed relationships.

     
     
     












    Some do not know I exist. 
     
     

    One thing they all seem to have in common is their feminism (as you may know, making life right for all women ultimately means a better life for children, men, animals, and the planet). 

     

     

    I respect those who oppose and are sickened by oppression in all its forms and define manhood for themselves.  (I respect and thank God for a woman for the same reasons, opposing oppression in all its forms and defining womanhood for herself, showing all of us more choices.) 



     

     
    
    
     

    Back to the men.  I could be on someone’s list too whose interest I am not aware of.
