I know that being openly gay as a singer may cause some controversy in your life? But so what? I used to have a self-denying bisexual friend who told me in a serious way, "What are you going to do when you become a singer, and people treat you differently because you're gay!"
The truth was, she didn’t' want me to succeed in accomplishing my dreams. Also she's ashamed of being bi! She wants to make other bi and gay people miserable because she hates herself. We're not friends now because she is jealous that I had a man who loved me while her girlfriend dumped her. There is A LOT more to that story, then what I am writing.
I know that as a singer I MAY get some bad feedback for being gay, but is it worth it? YES!!! It's worth fighting for my right at a gay person to be happy as a singer in the music business! How can you be happy if you don’t' follow your heart and fight for who you are?!!! My ex-friend, who I will call Trina, doesn’t. My encouragement towards her has been a waste, since she is so ashamed of being who she is! It's sad, she lives a miserable life with her husband, where she fakes being happy! Whether it's by denial or utter naivety, people believe she is happy with her husband.

Robot!
I am starting to lose weight very slowly. But it's happening. I realize that I am rubenesque, because I am young and growing. My fat will leave when Nature is ready to take my fat away. Also I have grown and realize that some of my worries are no big deal... I just have to breathe and take time to think my trials over. God will helpe me when I need him.
I go to Christian college, and this school filters any sites that do with homosexuality. They allow sites that suppor anti-homosexuality! I am pissed that my friend Rio got married to a woman! He is gay, and is in love with me! I feel he got married to please hi parents. But secretly he has man he messes with! I know my semi-friend Peter get's it on with men, behind his wive's back.
In the Mormon religion, you get married in sacred Temples. Both of these men are madd stupid to think that they're marriage would be acceptable if they are fucking men?! Well more power to them! Atleast they still get manfucked every now and then?! They're both handsome but ugly looking.
I would sleep with them!!!

Well today is a good day. All is fine with me. I realize that through my challenges that I have to put my faith fully in Heavenly Father. If you go through hell, and yet you STILL are not getting the point of why God put you through that, then you really are DUMB in every way! God gives up trials, and if we find the meaning behind it, then we will be happier. But it's up to our own spirits to find that message.
That's my view and finding the message behind a trial. A Mormon male missionary serves two years in the field. I only served six. I was sent home because a doctor diagnosed me with depression. But I got a certificate, which stated that I did complete my mission. Anyway, even though I was depressed I still could have finished the whole two years. But I believe that I was sent home from another reason.
Shortly after I came home, I realized that being gay was more and more of a reality with every passing month. That's why I had to come home. God needed me for another mission- as a Gay man. He needed me to discover myself, and inspire other gay people to accept themselves as who they are.
It surprises me that some gay people go about life saying that they are advocates of being a Homosexual. Yet they would want to change if they had the chance. I think what they don’t realize, is that God created them in a special way.

Love!!!
Mannequin.
When I watched this as a kid, it helped me to realize that my true love would come in a "different" from. Not a mannequin THOUGH. But in the form of a man. Even as a kid I knew I was gay. This unique romance unconsciously let me know that!

Free to Be
Late last year, I read a touching post from RuPaul's blog:
Monday, June 12, 2006
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM ARI GOLDA letter to my community of friends and family,While I have always in the past tried to keep my emails light and happy with all of my career successes, for the first time I am compelled to say something that I feel very strongly about, something that is quite serious, regarding the terrible, disgusting, despicable and infuriating thing that happened to my very dear friend and beloved artist to the worldwide gay community Kevin Aviance. Perhaps I need to write this for myself for my own therapy, but this time, I don’t care. Most of you have probably already heard that Kevin was the victim of a hate crime. He was verbally and physically assaulted by 5 guys and is now recovering in the hospital from a fractured jaw and a busted knee. His face is swollen and he has bruises on his forehead. His jaw must be sewn shut for at least 2 weeks in order to heal. Coincidentally or not, this has happened to Kevin during gay pride season...a time when us gay performers make a huge portion of our yearly income. I don’t need to go into more details regarding the assault and beating as it has already made the cover of the Post, the Daily News and received coverage in the New York Times and all national news programs including CBS, NBC, and FOX. NYC Mayer Bloomberg has called the crime “unacceptable.” Kevin is strong and he is thankfully doing well. His spirit is as strong as ever. I have personally received an outpouring of mail from people who have expressed their concern. But I do need to take this opportunity to step on the proverbial soap box and say that in case anyone was wondering why we have to be “out” artists or “gay artists” and why we have to make our sexuality an issue and in case anyone has questioned why we are fighting for the right to be married—THIS is why. NOT because so many of us hold marriage as something that we want so badly (although many of us are in real positions of needing those rights when it comes to our real lives with our partners)...but because we need to teach our children and society at large that EVERYONE deserves EQUAL treatment and that EVERYONE deserves to have the same CHOICES as everyone else. If we DON’T have the same CHOICES and if we DON’T have the same rights, we are continuing to spread a message that some people are not as valuable as others and therefore we can beat them and throw them to the curb as was done to Kevin. Incidentally, the 5 people that perpetrated this crime were from the ages of 16 to 20. If we let our President make an amendment for THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY that TAKES AWAY peoples rights as apposed to giving people their rights, then we are saying that what happened to Kevin is OK. And it’s not OK.Kevin you are a hero. You have been a personal hero to me since I first came out and started to go out to gay clubs. Having grown up in Yeshiva, Gay clubs were the first spaces I knew of where I felt like it was OK to be who I am. And there you always were, Kevin—showing us that we can be whoever we want to be and that despite our differences, we are still a community. Without you in the club world, without your art, without your music, without your performances, I don’t know if I would have ever felt like we really are one community. You have continued the legacy that the drag queens started during the Stonewall Rebellion—being the first ones on the front lines fighting for our civil and human rights. You have been a cherished and loved best friend to me for over 10 years and you were also one of my very first supporters and continue to be a great supporter of artists like myself who are not afraid to be who they are in a world that is clearly still run by hate. I know I speak for many when I say that we are grateful that you have been there for us and grateful that you are here still and that your sprit remains “So Alive” after something that might have taken down a weaker person. Thank you for not being afraid to speak out against the crime done to you even when they physically tried to steal your powerful voice away. Thank you once again for being proud of who you are no matter what the circumstance. We all wish you a very speedy recovery and we can’t wait to see you again and the joy that you bring to our lives. You are the rhythm and soul of this community. We love you, Kevin.Sincerely, ARI GOLD
I agree with Ru. Religions want to condemn us so much, that they want to deny that people like us do get persecuted. I remember last year, I found out that for every 1 teen in America, who commits suicide, there will be 7 gay teens, who will commit suicide. Religious people will just deny something like this, and continue to say that God doesn't like Homosexuals.
I went through the same thing with my parents. My dad accepted me, after I explained myself TRULY to him. I ended up literally telling my mom off, because she can be real stubborn when it comes to things. She eventually accepted me. So everything is fine right now.

Lke a Virgin

Vive Pro Color Vive shampoo and conditioner for Color-Treated Dry Hair, as well as the intensive deep conditioenr treatment.
Secret Body Mist: Tropical Tango

Sex!
Well I got an IPod Nano from my friend Brett. It came with his purchase of an IMac. I uploaded my Traci Lords album unto my Pod. I went walking today, and I'm happy. I felt chubby and fat today. Although I'm big, I'm not fat. But I have been trying to drop 20 pounds. I hope that I can lose 20 pounds by December?
My red hair is fading real badly. I plan to revive it with a demi-permanent hair dye. Most like something from Color Spa. One time, my estranged friend admitted to me, that he told my dad that he thought I was a prophet. He said that, because he knows how spiritual I am. He just meant that, I'm in turn with God. I love God, and I know he loves me as me: a Homosexual.
Robert is one hott bitch, but he's nutts- as in my dick in this throat- so I'm afraid of getting freaky with him. He might do something harmful to me, like pole me!
