(45,319 posts)Let me tell you this treestar. My work is such that I have spent funds to hire security because of death threats from folks who call me 'race traitor'. Hate letters, endless hate letters, from racists and homophobes, to be blunt dear, they are indistinguishable one from the other when they are ranting. Hate is hate. Those who excuse discrimination are purveyors of that hate. Show me one who excuses homophobia, you show me a person who will excuse racism. That is a fact.
To repeat, you don't know my life. You do not know who I love, who have been my mentors and and my peers, who raised me, who formed my identity as a gay man and as an artist.
My posting life on DU is here to search, you should do so. So should any and everyone. I invite them to.
Your posts are also here to look at. You do not want yours seen. I'm fine with mine. Think about that. I am proud of my life, my work and my words. You get snarky when you are quoted. Think about that.
Quote me all day. I know my heart, you on the other hand, do not.
