couple of ducks

So I went to Jackson Park a week ago, Right after Chicago Pride which was rainy but hot .But anyway I went to just get out of the house . It was beautiful as ever sun shining birds singing and gays guys searching for sex... So I was there to just get some peace and quite which was well needed after all the drama at home. Which didn't involve me I choose to stay away from drama. But I was walking enjoying myself talked to a couple of people fed a couple of ducks which is a a bad thing because they will try to follow you home damn ducks. But anyway I saw this real cute guy up there, me being me I thought he was looking for sex so I didn't attempt to talk to him. So I walk thorough the chinese garden and enjoying the beautiful plants and animals which have probably seen every sex act in the book Oh my if plants and animals could talk. But I saw that guy again I thought he was following me but I didn't want to jump to any conclusions. But when I walked by him I smiled he smiled back which made me feel good I was like wow I get smiles from guys but not in a place where I knew it was all gay men. So I decided to get ready to go home and I seen him siting on the bridge I told myself that I wasn't going to smile at him but I couldn't help it. So as I walked by he smiled but he start talking to me I was shocked, That this guy would talk to me . I was shy at first but I warmed up to him. So we talked and talked it got dark and it felted like I was on a date I just didn't want it to end. So we talked more but it start getting late and I told him I had to get home because it was late and so he offered me a ride home and I had to turn it down because I just met him , and I didn't feel that comfortable with him even though we talked for hours . So we said our good byes and I walked away feeling to happy but felted lost. Because I didn't get his name or his number I felted bad because I talked to this guy for hours and didn't get a number or a name. So the morale of this story is that Jackson Park is not that bad of a place it depends on what your intentions are . But if you want to meet cool people there are a lot of them out there. P.S. If you meet somebody that's really interested in you get the name and the number.

straight guys
told by dale

So i know a lot of you guys may have dated a DL guy. Or knOW somebody who is DL. But I use to be on this website which I will not name just to let you know it is a all gay black website . But anyway the has Bi, DL and Gay. But I never knew they have straight guys yes I said it straight guys. Most of them are looking for sex but very few are looking for a relationship with a guy. Some are married and a lot have girlfriend, even though some admit they do have girlfriends and wives. But others choose to lie, and cheat. Some guys were actually looking for girls not transgender but actually looking for real females on a all gay men site pretty Suspicious if I might say . The thing I don’t get is how in the blue hell can you be straight but yet your seeking sex from the same sex . And the strange thing is that most of all of the so called straight guys are bottoms. Which I would think if your straight and you have a girlfriend I would think that you would be using your wiener half of the time. (ha ha I said wiener get it wiener haha) ok I know that wasn’t funny but I try . But anyway I thought the suppose to be straight guys would be tops. I know a lot of you say hey why complain it’s a lot of hot straight guys we wish that were gay. But I’m not complaining it’s just if a guy wants to be on a gay dating site and if he sleeping with men I’m sorry you are bi. There’s no if and or buts about it. It use to make me mad because I ran in to a lot of these guys and the only thing they wanted from me was sex and maybe money which I never gave up. Ok the sex, but that was a one time thing and I used a condom so don’t panic. But I realize with a lot of these so call straight guys they will be quick to give you their number in a hot ass minute. But some straight guys will treat you like their sex buddy not caring about your feelings or how you feel after the whole sex ordeal. It’s just get up you have to go be for my girl gets home, and to a lot of them it’s all about the Nut. But in some cases a lot of girls like to see their men having sex with Men. And a lot of guys like for their girlfriend or wives to bang them with strap on Dildos. So I guess it’s not that bad of a thing but to me I see it as I just don’t get it. If you like Guys and Girls just call yourself Bi that’s not hard to say. Say it with me straight guys BI not bye like saying good bye and not buy like buying sex as some of you guys might have done. But bi as in bisexual, see you said it now you won a free trip to neverland ranch where Jesus juice is in Michael Jacksons closet right next to bubbles. And if you see bubbles you can tell him he can always come home . So I guess if we didn’t have these straight guys it wouldn’t be fun playing the who’s straight and who’s gay game (which I play that game everyday). So if your so called straight and you like to have sex with the same sex keeping doing your thing, only thing I have to say is that it’s this hot guy who calls me said he was bi I would be super happy.

told by Dale

So its this park on the south side of Chicago, its beautiful with all types of wild life, so the first time i ever been there i was fishing with my Dad and my Sister . so we had to walk across this bridge to into the Chinese garden i was like man this is beautiful, trees , flowers but a lot of guys blowing kisses at me. I was like wow what's going on, remind i was at the age of 10 when this happened and i remembered my dad calling it funny bunny gardens which is another word for gay, don't ask me where he got that from because i have never found out either, but anyway i went back just to check it years later i went around enjoying myself until i saw this dude flashing his penis i was like wow that's not normal but Im a top i want to see ah Ass which i did see later on that day, but the things i saw i thought i would never see in person, people having sex outside in bushes i was like wow i thought i would only see that in a low budget porn movie the things that they do in there you wouldn't even dream of seeing, but it happens. so my advice stay away from there if you don,t want to be hit on like crazy and looked at like a piece of meat in a lions cage but if you want to be flashed and asked to have sex with its the park for you. But still visit it's beautiful.

8TH ANNUAL LOVEFEST CELEBRATION

BLACK GAY & BISEXUAL MEN TAKE CONTROL OF THEIR HEALTH AT

8TH ANNUAL LOVEFEST CELEBRATION

Chicago Black Gay Men’s Caucus (CBGMC) to Launch “Healthy Is Sexy” Lifestyle Campaign

Event to Bring Awareness to LGBT Health and Wellness Management

Performance by Legendary Dance Diva Crystal Waters

(Chicago, Illinois – Aug 1, 2012) – The Chicago Black Gay Men’s Caucus (CBGMC), will host the 8th Annual LoveFest Celebration on Sunday, August 26th from 12p – 8p at Jackson Park (63rd & Cornell Drive). A free event, LoveFest is an annual summer “edu-tainment” festival designed for the African-American LGBT community, more specifically gay and bisexual men, to bring awareness to health and wellness management with live entertainment, dancing, health screenings and physical fitness activities. Since 2005, CBGMC has produced LoveFest, which attracts more than 500 attendees each year.

The 8th Annual LoveFest Celebration will serve as the official launch of CBGMC’s “Healthy Is Sexy” (HIS) Lifestyle Campaign, which will consist of advertisements, events, social media interactions, health tools and access points for African American gay and bisexual to become more involved in managing their overall health.

“We are truly excited to launch the Healthy is Sexy Lifestyle Campaign at this year’s Lovefest,” stated Keith Green, CBGMC Chairman. “This campaign will present more opportunities for black gay and bisexual men to take an active role in their overall health which will improve the quality of their lives and in turn create a more healthy community,” he continued.

This year’s theme is Healthy.Sexy.We., which takes cues from the Chicago Department of Public Health’s Healthy Chicago LGBT Community Action Plan. Attendees will be able to enjoy a variety of physical activities in the park including yoga, physical challenge obstacle courses, kickboxing, and volleyball. The Healthy is Sexy (HIS) Lifestyle Health Village will mimic the ideal “health and wellness visit” experience for African American gay and bisexual men – offering free private “Doc Chat” sessions with skilled medical professionals, screenings for HIV/STIs, hepatitis C, diabetes, obesity and a number of other health issues facing men.

Legendary dance diva Crystal Waters and Chicago’s very own Cyon Flare are the event’s featured entertainers. In addition, LoveFest will host the Old School vs. New School Battle of the DJs, and the EGOmania Mini-Ball.

“It’s important that we continue to provide positive affirming environments where black gay and bisexual men can come together and have access to health services,” said Craig Johnson, interim chair of the CBGMC executive planning commission (EPC).

“This festival is an opportunity for the Chicago Black Gay Men’s Caucus to communicate to the Black MSM population the importance of taking control of their health and that with our [CBGMC] assistance we can change the overall health landscape for our community.”

The 8th Annual LoveFest partners include but are not limited to the Illinois Department of Public Health, Chicago Department of Public Health, the University of Chicago Medical Center, Test Positive Aware Network, Public Health Institute of Metropolitan Chicago, the AIDS Foundation of Chicago, Stroger Hospital of Cook County, the CORE Center, Medical Center, Howard Brown Health Center, Access Community Health Network, the Center on Halsted, Perfect Fit., Inc., and Yogatones.

High Level Michael Death - Running Towards Grace

As queer people, regardless of what makes us different from each other, we have unique challenges we all share in staying alive, ones that are not as easy to articulate in an era of rights and freedoms on paper and often token tolerance.

by Ted Kerr

At times the noise recedes. And it is beautiful.

For the last 2 weeks I have taken up jogging. I like to say running but as my friend Marshall pointed out one has to be going a certain speed to be considered running, otherwise it is jogging.

On these jogs I plug in my ipod, cross the high level bridge, go down into the river valley then come back over on the LRT (subway) foot bridge, up the hill to Ezio Farone park and then make it home through back allies.

At first while jogging my mind was a wall of sound, all the voices of the day, emails not sent, gossip sites read and news of the world weighing on my head and so my shoulders, my body, my legs and seeping into the ground below. These early jogs were brutal.

Slowly, as I began to relax, the wall came down and my mind disappeared. I felt lighter. Sometimes it would be gone just for a moment, other times I would find myself on the final leg home and realize my mind had turned off, and I let my muscles do the work. Often times upon returning my mind would be singularly clear. One thought would be so sharp I would understand the totality of it.

The most reoccurring of thoughts when my mind would return was of death. One time specifically, then subsequently many times after, I thought about how of the 6 funerals I have attended in my adult life 3 have been for grown queer men who have taken their own lives.

How is this happening? I would think. Why are arguably the least oppressed and most supported group among the LGBT community the ones who are leaping to their death while others stay and solider on? What is missing in these men, in our communities and in our culture that these men, for whom life could be and should be easier than for most, cannot make it?

These thoughts and questions on death would follow me into my non-jogging day but not always cut through. Instead the memory of three men and the countless others like them, would simply become part of the noise-a frustrating fury echoing the state of things. In between cutting vegetables or while sitting on a bus, while reading a book or locking up my bike I would find myself getting upset at what I perceived to be the lack of coping skills of the 3 men and those like them born into relative privilege. I would think about how in the face of transphobia, racism and misogyny within the gay community, the growing number of queer homeless youth in Edmonton, and countless other issues, it was hard to focus on the needs or white middle class gay guys (my own needs included). Other times I would find myself getting mad at the world around that failed them and at my own assumptions that they should have been able to take care of themselves. I would wonder where my grace was.

And then from a pop symphony of discordant noises a clarifying beat took over, an aching yell called out, a chorus created a new unified wall of sound that cut through even the receding noise. Michael Jackson died and death was everywhere. His white, privileged, sexually ambiguous body was lifeless and I was beside myself. I was awash in possibly misplaced grief and the hypocrisy of my false hierarchy of needs. Not a week earlier I was trying to intellectualize the death of 3 men, while in the wake of Jackson’s death I was letting my emotions rule, mourning a man I never even knew. Again I had to ask- where was my grace?

As much as my simple mind would like to insert race, class and privilege in to the conversation around suicide and the needs of others, there is a time to look past these things. Living is a complex web of relations and reasons, desires and direction, hope and happenstance- all of which is often troubled by, among other factors, sexual orientation.

As queer people, regardless of what makes us different from each other, we have unique challenges we all share in staying alive, ones that are not as easy to articulate in an era of rights and freedoms on paper and often token tolerance. Regardless of the work we do, the communities we serve, the people we march for, the things we stand for, we need to look out for each other, put agendas aside and connect as people.

Maybe for people reading this column, this is stuff that they already knew, grace as something that comes second nature. For me as I continue my journey of letting the sun warm my face, my heart beat faster and my feet pound the pavement grace is something renewed inside of me, something I hope helps not only me but anyone else that needs it.

On both the north and south side of the High Level Bridge in Edmonton where I run, facing west someone has affixed a key lock. Sometimes when running my eye catches the gleam off the metal and I smile. I need to believe that the simple marker of a lock, something suppose to keep valuables safe, is a message to those who are feeling lost to hold on to not let go.

Cue Michael Jackson: You Are Not Alone.

FINAL TALLY - 127 orgs, 203 individuals endorse 2009 Gay Men's Health Agenda

Spring has sprung, and with its promise of hope, growth and renewal, delivered a final tally of 127 organizational and 203 individual endorsements to the 2009 Gay Men's Health Agenda.

Read the full document right here, on LifeLube. It can be downloaded here http://is.gd/k7nN . A full list of endorsements is below.

The 2009Gay Men's Health Agenda was created when Project CRYSP – a Chicago Department of Public Health gay men's health collaboration among four agencies – began soliciting input from a variety of stakeholders across the country in April 2008. Stakeholders were asked to share their vision of a 2009 Gay Men's Health Agenda – to list the objectives and strategies needed to advance our health and well-being. Participants, representing a wide spectrum of organizations and demographically diverse individuals, submitted the policy initiatives, advocacy objectives and the activities they felt were essential to a comprehensive gay men's health agenda for 2009. Submitted in the form of blog posts, the ideas were published on the LifeLube blog – a gay men's health and wellness portal – with comments and discussion strongly encouraged.

An analysis was conducted of the ideas presented through this process and an overview of the process and collected input was presented to 200 gay, bisexual and transgender men's health leaders and advocates at the closing session of the 2008 National Gay Men's Health Summit in Seattle, October, 2008. Feedback and additional ideas were recorded during the extensive open discussion portion of the session. Finally, additional feedback was solicited on the Gay Men's Health Ning-- http://gaymenshealth.ning.com . This process informs the entire document.

As a new Administration and Congress set a course for America, with a focus on health care reform, leaders of the gay men's health movement join with the National Coalition for LGBT Health and other allies in advocating for policies and resources to advance the health and well being of gay, bisexual, and transgender men.

Any questions can be addressed to gaymenshealthagenda@gmail.com.
