I know that he is still active on the internet because I have regularly seen his comments at Towleroad.<br /><br />I have read his blog for more than a year but unfortunately he does not allow comments or post an email address. Did I miss something? Is it possible to comment or contact Mr. Charles at his blog? It's very odd that a writer does not wish to hear from readers. As mentioned before, I am in graduate school and enjoyed "Brother to Brother" and his poem "Jailbait."Luísnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688218899576616463.post-5289263920387301922012-11-24T18:03:53.388-08:002012-11-24T18:03:53.388-08:00I'm glad, Luis.

The essays here and at "Ignorance Is Plentiful" are provocative. I don't agree with every conclusion, but "variety is the spice of life"! It's nice to see someone going after the elitist gatekeepers of "Gay Inc"!<br /><br />Question: Is "Don Charles" the writer of the same name who appeared in "Brother to Brother"? If so, then my hat is off to him! That is an iconic anthology of black gay literature! It is taught in many college syllabus! I would love to hear more about how that anthology developed and Don became a contributor.<br /><br />Intelligence is sexy. And Don is very cute! :)<br /><br />Luís, "Dominico-Americano" graduate studentLuísnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688218899576616463.post-15404730395165608022012-11-02T09:08:12.841-07:002012-11-02T09:08:12.841-07:00You're right on all counts, Anonymous.

You make a great point that there should be emotional when arguing for something as critical as equality.<br /><br />I'll brew a pot of tea and re-read your essays with a new perspective. I'll even try to occasionally read "Ignorance is Plentiful" ... although as usual I have no idea what "Stuffed Animal" refers to in that last comment. Perhaps he was applauding your post, maybe another comment was removed, or maybe the pet names and pleading was innuendo re another "private conversation."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2688218899576616463.post-53524294193809742202012-10-26T11:54:20.124-07:002012-10-26T11:54:20.124-07:00Thanks Stuff.

Much less doom and gloom than here and "Ignorance is Plentiful." More upbeat stories about gay rights.
