the young people's professor

Although I can just read the pdf online... I have contacted Regina so I can actually get a copy of the book. I look forward to reading it as soon as I get it.

Congratulations on your new publication.

This sounds hot!

Congratulations on your new publication. It is indeed an inspiration for this young black non-heterosexual aspiring academic. I dl the .pdf as soon as Keith Boykin posted the link to it on his site. I intend to get a hard copy as well. I hope that you continue the work you all are doing, for all our sakes, and that others will join us in this journey.

Frank,
I don't know you personally, but I have great admiration for who you
are and your work. Tears of joy and pride are flowing down my face. It is because of you, Larry Lyons, other black gay bloggers, and my mentor that I am able to witness the reality of a desire I've had since I was a child; to see black gay males in a positive light making a difference in
the world. I didn't realize how important this vision is to me until just now.

Years of feeling as though who I am was wrong and seeing the one
dimensional portrayal of my likeness in the media will, I feel, soon be erased knowing that the kind of community I imagined exists--beautiful, black, intelligent men loving one another and sharing that love through
passions and gifts. I'm just a southern boy from South Carolina and have tried to fight the stereotype of my sexual orientation since I "came
out". Now I know there is no fighting, but just being. I am inspired to Be knowing that others can and are doing the same. Larry Lyons just wrote about the constructs of identity. This blog community and the few I know outside the net have encouraged part of my identity I will allow
to be fixed; unchanging. Thank you for allowing me to see a true
likeness of the black gay male I always hoped could exist. Thank you
also Dr. McKever-Floyd.

you inspire me.

there have only been two bloggers who have moved me to tears.

you are one of them.

i should comment more.

i am anxious to get a copy. i loved thomas glave's "whose song?" so i'm definitely intrigued by his inclusion.

stay the course, man.
