I Caused Controversy on The Bilerico Project

Hi all,

So as some of you know, I was a guest blogger on The Bilerico Project yesterday. It was a great opportunity and I'm very stoked about it. However, my last post apparently caused some small controversy, see below

Black LGBT bloggers are making waves in blogosphere. I truly enjoy reading about what's happening in the ATL or how individuals are making history. But it seems we are few and far between. There are probably a handful of us that are regular reads for the LGBT community, and I would like to change that. I would like to see more Black LGBT bloggers out there on the web. 

There are so many things we can do for the Black LGBT community. For example:

• We can motivate readers to confront the Black church on its homophobia


• Encourage our young people to be fighters for equal rights


• Provide an outlet for other Black LGBT people to feel heard and loved


• Challenge the stereotypes that beset our community

We have the opportunity to be a powerful force in the overall LGBT movement. Hopefully, more and more Black LGBT bloggers will join us, tell the world our stories, and help in the struggle for equality.

This was my short personal post. But this piece actually offended someone. They thought I was trying to separate us (Black folks) and push Blackness rather than Humanity.

Okay... My intent was to motivate and encourage Black LGBT bloggers to keep it up and stay on the path. Who knew I would considered a separatist. Oh Lord, I guess this is a taste of being a blogger. Oh well.
