Twenty two years pure fagness was born, a boy was delivered and instantly the doctor knew there was something going on with him, glamor, pizazz and niceness. The boy was me, am lying, I was born with drama; slamming of doors, screaming,crying, speeding, slamming of brakes and a huge feud that is still on. No wonder am always depressed on my birthday, I try asking my grandma what went down, she gets mad, she refuses to tell me. I need to know, anyway on the rainy night of my birthday, wet night, was tucked watching Project Runway while my annoying grandma was crocheting, she loves Santino and Zulema. I made a wish and no it ain't a Louis bag, something I've been waiting my whole life for, Oh God please.

Twenty years ago the world changed, it took a huge turn, destination was Copenhagen, Denmark. Axel and Eigil were the first gay couple to legalize their union. It has marked a very important time in the LGBT history, the one that is still alive remembers it with nostalgia, how sweet, they held hands and kissed and nothing else in the world mattered. Well Mary, you created a trend some place and we are still fighting for gay marriage to be legalized.

This year a hate crime was committed, A gay guy was assaulted by his neighbors because of his stand on homosexuality, the neighbors stormed in house and started attacking him, a horrendous experience. It kind of reminded me during the post election violence, jeering, burning, looting and neighbor turning on neighbor, we were on our kitchen window no power looking through a window, a distant fire and people being beaten. He was beaten senseless and bundled back to his house leaving him for the dead.The female neighbors came to his rescue.

His assailants also smashed the glass of the door when they tried to forced entry into Wanyamas’s rented home to further attack him, but they were restrained by the estate caretaker.

The victim said they have been staying together with neighbors peacefully and wondered why one day some of them turned against him to terminate his life .

He says its “very hard to belief what happened to him. We have been chatting happily with my neighbors, sometimes eating together,” He added as tears drenched his cheeks.

The national Coming out day, coming out is journey it is not a must to scream "am a faggot" I kind of came out accidentally, unintentionally, subconsciously to someone. Yeuch! Will still pay a million dollars to see her face.

Around 12 years ago I think, Judy Shepard got a call at five am informing her and the husband that their son had been killed, a hate crime. Mathew Shepard a university student was killed, he was attacked an critically injured beyond recovery, it is amazing an incident like this gives gays a platform for the battle for acceptance, why does a person need to be killed? The struggle is on the streets, in schools ,in the workplace, when some others have got it, others are fighting for gay marriage and some are battling for their rights to live. I do not want to be a victim

But the phone call that Thursday morning wasn't from Matt. It was about him. When the man on the other end of the line announced who he was, an emergency-room doctor from Ivinson Memorial Hospital in Laramie, I went numb. I don't remember what he said, or what I did next. I'm not sure whether it was the ringing phone or my subsequent gasp that startled the still-sleeping Dennis. Whatever it was that woke him, Dennis took the phone from me and then, after a seemingly endless silence, made a noise—a sort of helpless and mournful groan—that I'd never heard before and haven't heard since. Coming as it did from my husband, a man whose reserved manner is as typically masculine and Western as his Wrangler jeans and cowboy boots, the moan confirmed my worst fears.

Matt had been attacked. He had sustained injuries to his head that were so critical, his chances for survival were nearly impossible.

This year another turn, by Kenyans gay couple got married creating a stir, in a few it had comments like all. Anyway:

Two Kenyan men on Saturday became the first gay couple to wed in London. Charles Ngengi, 40 and his bride, Daniel Chege Gichia, 39, became civil partners under the controversial Civil Partnership Act which came into effect in the UK in 2005 allowing couples of the same sex to have legal recognition of their relationship.
The couple tied the knot at a civil partnership ceremony at Islington Town Hall in North London at 11.30 a.m. UK time. According to the Act, a civil partnership is defined as a legal marriage between gay and lesbian couples, and any couples who enter into a civil partnership obtain the new legal status of civil partners, instead of the traditional husband and wife status.

Interesting, today morning this was a topic of discussion at Kiss 100 and the guy hired to be a comedian a fake ass one said, " unethical, unpalatable, uncouth and unafrican." He went further to say that he would throw his brother from a fourth floor flat if he came out to him and said that he was gay. He also said that gays should be burnt. Really! gays have got no place, some callers went on to say not in our culture and again "unafrican" What's that? Jalango if I walk up that door now and I declare that am gay, it means that am culturally relevant than you are, why are we so absorbed with culturally gendered behaviors? Jalango you must have missed the breaking news, gays are here to stay, you cannot stop someone from having feelings for another person, you cannot stop someone from choosing the way they want to live their lives. You clearly have no regard for the human life saying that someone should be killed just for marrying another person, everyone has their rights to live, rights to dignity, such people like you; hypocritical, homophobic bigots with their heads buried in the sand, you live with gays, share with them, work, eat but when you get airtime you denounce. Shame on you. You will get married to whomever you want why shouldn't they, marriage is not a privilege among heterosexuals, because of this we see hate motivated attacks, high prevalence of HIV among Africans, Chege and his groom did not invent gay marriage and neither did they perfect it, I mean he carried a bouquet how lame but they weren't the first and neither were they the last, they won't be the last. You gotta deal with it. Congratulations to the new couple.
Someone please pass the message and tell him (Jalango) that it's not good going around burning people and throwing them from the top of a flat.




October ?
This year a heinous bill was tabled in Uganda oppressing and dehumanizing gays, the MPs want to sentence gays for life in the clink or give them the death penalty. I cannot express enough grief, sadness on how hate prevails, I cannot understand why Ugandans are so obsessed with homosexuality, you cannot stop someone from expressing the way he wants to live his life, you cannot dictate, you cannot prohibit, illegalize how someone feels: someone feelings for someone else. I want to start a petition and I want you to sign it later on, this is to at least stop this oppression from going on, please.

Oh yeah, Saw Audrey last night on tv, flipping through gotta say realness, would never have thought that you were/ are a guy , thanks for representing the trannies. You are brave, courageous and other good things, love your articles.
