Let's BGAI Together!


I am posting the link below to my friend Erika's gorgeously written blog, Be gay about it., [which includes many worthwhile things concerning her life experiences, but primarily her experiences as a lesbian trying to live her life openly and honestly], because I think community is SO DAMN IMPORTANT.

Erika is beginning a new phase in her blog and inviting us all to BGAI Together. She is looking to include other gay/lesbian/transgendered folks' experiences in her blog. She is also having a contest for the best personal stories.

SB supports Erika in this venture, because I think it's worthwhile, and the time to stop hiding the life experiences of a large segment of the world's population has come. There should be no shame in being honest and being who you are EVER, goddammit. Let's stop letting THE MINORITY silence everyone else. Shine your light, motherfuckers!

Let's all BGAI (at least in spirit), goddammit!

[Message from Erika (she's great and SB loves her, so listen up, motherfuckers): Also, just to let everyone know, you don't have to be gay to play! Allies' stories are welcome, too!]

YOU are awesome!! Thank you for this. I'm really bad at whoring myself for publicity and BGAI Together means a lot to me, so I appreciate your whoring it on my behalf.

Also, just to let everyone know, you don't have to be gay to play! Allies' stories are welcome, too!

Thanks for posting this. I may have a gay cousin who was cut off from the family. It bothers me to this day.
