Other than a mentor as noted in this video, neither a boy’s parents or other adults, his peers – who are most likely no better informed than himself, nor any formal sex education program, will suffice to adequately and satisfactorily address a boy’s desire and need to learn about his sexuality.”

“PBS American Experience is Documentary on American history consistently among the best shows on television. Episode is Ruby Ridge.”
I used to listen to Bo Gritz…back in the mid nineties, on shortwave radio…It was during that early transitional phase, I sometimes talk about…where I left organized religion, but still identified as Christian…
…I don’t know that I’d say I was searching for something different…so much as I was astonished and intrigued, at what all I was encountering [and finding it somewhat exotic, listening to native news/broadcasts, from other countries/communities I’d never before heard from].
Bo talked about Ruby Ridge, quite a bit…and I know it had a profound impact on him…
I had read somewhere, in passing, that Bo attempted suicide…Apparently, he survived.
Ruby Ridge is a prime example, of just how wrong a stupidly handled situation can go…
…And I don’t like so much to draw this comparison…But it’s been in the back of my mind, over the years…that this exacts sort of thing can happen to MAP’s, just as easily…
I never knew what to believe, about the racist allegations…But, realizing what had happened…primarily at the hands of the U.S. government…
…I mean…jesus…They killed a young kid…They killed a mother, who was holding her young infant…
…This case has always had a strong impact on me, where it came to understanding what some people in the U.S. government are willing to do…how savage and ruthless, they are willing to allow things to get…
I’ve never been a survivalist, nor terrorist minded [obviously]…But taking stock of how the U.S. government has abused, tormented and killed so many…even of it’s own citizens…
…It’s easier to understand, what has gone into creating home grown terrorists.
The U.S. government, itself, holds no small part of this blame.

Does anyone remember when Ozzy Osbourne was taken to court, because fundamentalist religious parents believed their teenage son committed suicide because of listening to Ozzy’s song, “Suicide Solution”?…
Despite that the song was not an encouragement to commit suicide…indeed, it was quite the opposite message…and despite the existence of metaphors…and despite that art commonly takes an unflinching, fierce form…Nobody was successfully telling any of this, to those religious parents…who saw a song title [“Suicide Solution”], and that was all they ever needed to see, or know…Their minds were set…all facts be damned…
…Ozzy was no longer allowed to be anything in their minds, than the wicked demon they envisioned him as…
Often times…this is precisely what I feel like…not just when people attack me for being a pedophile…but when people attack the life’s work, I’ve done…
At this point…I’ve been writing about being a homosexual pedophile, for about twenty years…The first several years of writing, are mostly lost…but, I might have a substantial body of work, stretching back fifteen years…It’s long and broad enough, to where I could not deny my drive and ambition, if I wanted to…What I’ve created, is stark and bold…
…And some people sneer at it…claim, or imply, “some child is going to get raped, because of it”…
…They say a lot of really nasty, hurtful things…spinning my words, and what I’ve built, entirely out of it’s natural [and historical] context…
…They haven’t got the first inkling of a clue…as to why I have created this body of content…Why I had too…Despite that I’ve explained this, numerous times over…
…These kinds of zealots, are fundamentalists…
…They don’t care, that there is something much deeper and broad…and, indeed, far different from what they are expecting…contained within this body of work…
…Or, maybe some of them do recognize this…and the fact that they cannot control what they don’t understand, terrifies them…
They want things to be so simple, and categorized…separate and isolated…Everything where it can be easily manipulated…
They only want to think and speak of things…in the strict way that they want to speak and think of those things…And they wont tolerate others, behaving differently.
It’s because we live in a world…where Ozzy Osbourne even could be dragged before a court, for the “offense” of making a song about a hard subject…
…that people like me exist, to push back against the ignorant insanity…from the people who refuse to see, refuse to listen, refuse to communicate…and refuse to understand…refuse to coexist…
01) Gay Hollywood:The Last Taboo (2009) documentary
“Looks at the challenges facing gay artists in Hollywood past and present. Hollywood in the 1920s was the most homosexual friendly place to be as most of the behind-the-camera staff were gay. However, for those in front of the camera there was no tolerance from the movie-going public. Any homosexual who wanted to maintain a career had to remain in a well-locked closet. During the 1950s, the studios provided their own “police” who would be the first to arrive at any scene of an “indiscretion” or other scandalous act. Their task was to collect and remove any evidence and then call the real police if necessary. The studios, wanting to safeguard their investments, even forced male gay actors, like Rock Hudson and Cary Grant, into sham marriages.”
