I am a published queer poet (the "littles"), and am quite happy to have happened upon this site! I honestly believe that most queer folk are grossly misunderstood. Especially those that were there (during the worst of the AIDS crisis). Speak up! Say it loud and proud! Young and old alike. Never forget the wise words of Miss Midler: "Aren't you people tired of being stepped on?" And never forget the ones that cleared the path for all of us still alive today. Be it Whitman, Gertrude and Alice, Auden, Frank O'Hara, Ginsberg, Capote, Warhol, Quentin Crisp, etc. We have a very strong past. Now let us begin to make an even stronger future: Starting with Larry Kramer. Do you have the balls to put reactionary fools like Ann Coulter to shame? I say let us go for it--big time. Yeah, Silence=Death. So let me hear your beautiful queer voices. Starting today. Okay? Poetry or prose. Let's be sure and put the Archie Bunkers of the world to shame. Go for it! Especially now that we are still living in DubyaLand.

If you'd like to read more of my wicked words, feel free to click on Return (below each entry)--and that should take you to my site over at Journalspace. Plus I'll be posting more things here, etc. Dylan Mitchell is my name. And telling the truth about being queer in straight America--is my game. Peace.
