Gay is not what we are, Gay is not who we are, Being Gay is just one simple part of us.: Paul Cadmus

Welcome

Greetings Everyone!!!
I am starting this blog as a place for Gay men and women to come and read information about a variety of topics and issues. If you would like to be a guest author on my blog, please email me at CarlDinsmore@yahoo.com and tell me why you would like to post something on my blog. This is also a way for people in Cincinnati to get linked to social organizations that maybe they did not know existed. I will work hard on placing all sorts of information on the site, regarding Books, Medical updates, Causes that I deelpy care about, Gay vacation destinations, Gay Sports, and much, much more. Its also just a venue for you to share comments on postings, or share with me a cause or topic I could add to my site.
Last year was a very tough year for me, as I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, which is a form of depression mainly diagnosed in women, but more and more men are being diagnosed with this illness. So, look for information regarding borderline on the blog. Finally having a diagnosis regarding my depression was life saving. Coming through that crisis is what gave me the idea to create this blog.
But my number one goal for this site is the fact that it is time for unity in the gay community. Its time to STOP tearing each other down, but rather to build each other up. We are not all alike. We are different and these differences are what makes our world such a wonderful place to live. Please enjoy the site, and lets unite to make our world the best place it can be.

Paul Cadmus

I decided while sitting in my room that I would try to do more to bring gay themed areas of interest to my blog. I began searching the internet for famous gay artists. I quickly found Paul Cadmus who lived from 1904 - 1999. I was amazed at the use of color and overall composition in his work. I am including the information from the site I found him on and there are several of his paintings in the blog. I hope you find this as interesting as I did. Enjoy.

Paul Cadmus

1926 Graduated with honors and worked in advertising
1931 Moved to a Majorcan fishing village with his friend Jared French where his friend encouraged Cadmus to paint in the style of the old masters.
1933 Cadmus' style had evolved to a sensuous realism that was his own.
1934 Cadmus achieved national notoriety when his painting The Fleet's In!, commissioned as part of the Public Works of Art Project, was pulled from a Corcoran Gallery exhibit for allegedly "defaming" American sailors.
