Queer Kid of Color

Chile, the title says it all.

We’re back! Check out this cool new video we did on gay social networking sites. ::SIGH:: I think this video made me realize how strong of a personality I have – I need to tone it down a bit…For real. Also, if you have a youtube account feel free to add us as a friend.

I disabled the embedded video setting because some website embedded the other video on their site and that did not make me happy! So, you’ll have to click on the link – Sorry!

My friend Les and I made this youtube video. From the two pages of comments (last I checked) on BGC and the youtube comments and amount of times we were made favorites on youtube it seems as though people really like us. So check out the video and stay tuned for more!

By the way, my middle name is Emmanuel, thats why some people call me Manny. Got it? Good.

I was catching up with a guy that I use to date a few months ago, he’s in the ballroom scene and walks pretty boy. I have really been trying to lose connection with him for the longest, because he’s someone whose just adding a lot of stress to my life. I keep in contact because there’s a shortage of love and people who care about him. I wanted to be some sort of support for him. When we were on the phone he randomly brought up the topic of another guy I use to date in the ballroom scene and how the guy is a 2, he’s an 8, and I’m a 5 on a scale of 1-10 based on attractiveness. The judgment would have been fine had he not said it so condescendingly. As if he’s above me because he looks better, dresses better, walks balls and wins trophies. That’s all good and dandy, but you’re still stupid. See, I can be condescending too.

I hung up the phone on him so quick I’m sure his head spun. Growing up I had severe low self esteem and insecurities, I refuse to go back to that place again. I’m at the age where I’m comfortable with my looks and see my imperfections as beauty marks and not flaws.

Needless to say I’m not talking to him anymore. He lost an ally and a friend. The shallowness of some people. I don’t care how unattractive I am, I’m still intelligent.

Have a great weekend.

“I’m just thinking about some of the horrid monikers we’ve encountered on the ‘Net: ‘The Old Dyke.’ ‘The Angry Fag.’ ‘Queer Kid Of Color’. “Faggoty-Ass Faggot.” Straight people see and hear these vulgar identifiers. What do they make of them? Do they feel they have permission to use them, too? What also occurs to me is that these names don’t just speak to a shameful feeling about one’s gender and/or sexuality; they speak to an obsession with it! “

Um, ok.
