Gay is not what we are, Gay is not who we are, Being Gay is just one simple part of us.: Some more of my poetry....

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.

Some more of my poetry....

Hollow Notions of Silence

Soul is heavy, but tries to fight.
Burdens are many, but God says "No".
Prayer echoes in abundance.
The deep, hurting need is met by silence.

Silence is not empty or is it hollow.
It is the preface to many things.
A sturdy, locked door seperates greatness.
No key is known to exist.

Doubt inserts itself into every crevice.
Seaping out to slow your journey.
Continue onward or become a fixture.
Clarity may never present itself.

Longing for anything true and pure.
To know peace is to know an end.
To know no end is to know there is no peace.
Hesitant to trust any feelings.

Take a breath and let it in.
Close your eyes and imagine.
Fight to avoid getting lost in the darkness.
Blindly grasping for any light.

William Carl Dinsmore
