Benjamin sat across the table from his father in a Harlem diner. They were eating their weekly Sunday lunch. As usual, Benjamin did his best to parley his father's question. He normally kept his cool until the desserts, but this week, Benjamin's frustration started early. "Your mother and I are getting old. When are you going to give us grandchildren?" his...
I love my father, and my four brothers. My mom left my father when I was five and promptly forgot she had children. Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration. She'd come to visit us, especially on our birthdays, but little by little, we would receive presents in the mail, then cards full of money. By the time I was sixteen, she stopped sending the cards and we h...
Hi! My name is Dana Kendall and I'm here to tell you my story. Or perhaps I should say our story, as you will see more people become involved as our story unfolds. First let's get some details out of the way. I married a guy four years ago and he turned out to be a real sleaze. He left me high and dry, I won't say those four years were miserable for me, but...
I'm gay. I'm gay and I do not care who knows I am gay but I am gay with happiness, gay with excitement, and gay with the pleasure of him. I miss him when he is not with me. I miss him when I cannot have him but I have to work and he is never there with me when I am driving to and from work but I wish he was with me. I am so lonely without him. He blanks my t...
The limits of power. What an odd thing for someone like myself to ponder. My name is Anthony Saint-Pierre and I'm a six-foot-one, lean and athletic Black male in his mid-twenties living in the city of Boston, Massachusetts. A proud member of the Haitian-American community. Currently, I'm a patrol officer with the Massachusetts State Police. It's my second ye...
I have known what I am ever since I can remember, but I haven't always been able to admit it to myself, or embrace it. My name is Halima Abdullahi and I'm a young woman living in the City of Edmonton, Alberta. I think I was destined for a life of hardship and struggle, for in the eyes of many, I'm something that shouldn't exist. An openly gay, biracial Musli...
The recent expanse of homophobia, as seen in the recent U.S. attempt to put a ban on gay marriages in the Constitution, as all anti-sexual movements deeply rooted in the holy scriptures, most importantly the bible. Let us assume for the purposes of this essay that the bible is the supreme word of God, none of the “prophets” were drug addicts, and though rhet...
Well, howdy folks! My name is Evelyn Rachel Lombardi. I'm five-foot-eleven and slim, with long blonde hair, alabaster skin and pale blue eyes. I'm originally from the City of Calgary, Province of Alberta, but I moved to the town of Ottawa, Province of Ontario, a little over two years ago. I attend the University of Ottawa, where I study business administrati...
The first time I saw her at the Vietnamese Student Club, I knew I had to have her. The tall, curvaceous and golden brown sister with the killer booty and sweet smile simply took my breath away. At the time, I was dating a Vietnamese chick named Miranda Nguyen, a romance that was doomed to fail since Asian parents seem to hate seeing their daughters with Blac...
As Salam Alaikum, people. The name is Ahmed Rahman and I'm a brother with one hell of a story to share with you. It's not easy for me to admit this, especially given my Muslim background but here goes nothing. I am a bisexual man. I do it with girls and guys. There, I finally said it. Let the haters come if they will. I honestly don't care anymore. As a bla...
