Are you gay?

Now here is THE question that may be easier for those who are out but harder for those who are evolving. I believe no4real4real has appropriately titled his blog as "On My Way." The question was put to me today forthrightly by someone who is very out, open and working in a career that actively promotes gay causes. The question caught me off guard since I have never met this person face to face and only communicated with him through a few emails to promote a business enterprise of someone else. I am not going to tell you my answer to him. He nicely indicated that he asked because he didn't want to make any assumptions. Well, like no4real4real, I am on my way. If you look at my profile you will see that I am off to a late start. I still don't know where I am on my way to, but I definitely started on a new road about a month ago as I discovered some wonderful novelists (and you know who you are ;-) and people in the blog world. Plus, writing a blog helps me to explore some thoughts more completely as well as get input from some others. I value each of your comments as I engage in this journey. Not sure where it will lead me, but who knows maybe soon I will be able to answer THE question with certainty and no hesitation. By the way, since I mentioned no4real4real, I had to give y'all this glimpse of this black Adonis. Whew, is it hot in here or is it him!

Shem hotep.
