I would really like to see, each and everyone of you, this INCLUDING ALL OF OUR VISITORS AND MEMBERS ALIKE SITTING OUT THERE SOMEWHERE IN THE SHADOWS, to visit and comment of threads newly created over the past few days at my personal Blog.
I would like all of you to link to it, spreading the word far and wide that it exists, in each and every venue that you visit when it is possible for you to tag either an individual article, or the combined whole.
I would like to see all of you here, who haven't already done so, launch your own Blogs. Pick a niche grievance, just as I have. Maybe you'll like mine and will consider starting another expressing your unique take and point-of-view on topics similar to those that I'm going to cover, in the Blogs you create for that purpose. Too, maybe it will be another altogether. It won't matter, just so long as your voice is going to be heard.
My Blog lay fallow, sitting there for a good long while, but in name only, simply awaiting something that would finally tick me off to a sufficient degree that it would galvanize my anger enough for me to want my views and voice heard.
PLEASE, YOU DO THE SAME.

Come one, come all; but please come; and please link, link, link for all it's worth. Do the same with Brody's, and Timmy's and Nick's and all others who are speaking out about Civil Rights and Equality in general, and LGBTQ issues in particular; this regardless of wherever it that you call home, whatever your religion, whatever your politics, whatever your spoken tongue. Let your views and voice be heard World-wide.
Too, as much as I detest the damn thing and my only recently having taken my profile there public for the very first time, at Timmy's request, since my establishing it, please link to The Gay Deceiver at FaceBook:

I'm sorry, Warren. I don't do Myspace, Facebook or YouTube postings, I don't even have a cell phone or a Blackberry.
What I do have is a list of names, seventeen so far starting with Arne Duncan, The Secretary of Education, and an address to reach each of them. I may go about things the old fashioned way but I am not limiting myself to a handful of words either.
In my correspondance I have linked your blog, Brody's blog and Timmy's as well. I expect that many of these e-mails will be read because of the unique form of address I have included, but I am not asking for a reply. What I am asking is for action to prevent any further suicides, to hold the school officials accountable and to make sure all children receive a safe and competent education.
There will be further events, we all know this, and I for one dread booting up my PC each morning and reading the news. I have been spending so much time on this that I have not written a single creative word on any of my stories, this is much more important. There will be no Chris James stories posted until we are past this crisis. I wish us all good luck.

Warren, I have linked your blog to my Yahoo acct. which is my home page and plan to start a Facebook page this winter to which it will finally be linked.
Thank You,

... if you had asked me a week ago, I, too, would have told you I don't do MySpace, FaceBook or YouTube either; this not-with-standing my always having had locked-down and "private" accounts at all three. That I even considered making my FaceBook account(s) public is an indicator of my level of commitment to this problem, and to newly emerging contentious LGBT issues that seem to be surfacing almost daily of late.

Your support is important.
Dude, who is whom in the photo you've used for your avatar, if I might be so bold as to enquire?

From an experienced blogger to a new one, reply with good comments to all relevant blogs you can find, and place html links on them to individual stories in your blog

Warren, the handsome young lad I used for my avatar is the very handsome, and very Irish Colin Morgan of the BBC television show "Merlin". We see it here in the US on the SYFY channel. My avatar for this board is of Colin on the left, who plays Merlin and the UK's blond hottie Bradley James as Arthur. Quite a handsome pair, don't you think ?

Timmy, thanks for this bit of information. I am saving this in a file so that when I attempt to launch my blog this winter, I will have some experience to draw on. You have been extremely helpful to me when asked and it is appreciated.
Aq-ah-screw-it, call me Marco from now on. I choose to stand up and be counted and ready to be called on, when needed.
Thanks, Marco
ps That felt great to get out !

Again, thank you.
Merlin, now in production for season three is broadcast nationwide in Canada on BellGlobe Media's Network, CTV Network and a couple of its' subsidiary cable-access channels. The web-site for the series may be found here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/merkin/
Too bad, really, but much of the content on that site is locked-down and available only for participation if you reside in the U.K., especially the various games; I know this because I've tried to play them all. One of the truly better interactive web-sites I seen.
Luckily, I have all of seasons one and two archived on my Server, and I eagerly await season three.

Good advice, Timmy. I'm still learning; having only very rarely commented on threads at few Blogs, or web-sites or another. Until now, I've usually relied on the Membership to specific sites to do that for me.
This being of course, anywhere other than the gay-themed film file-sharing venue where I am an Administrator.

... wanting me to visit there after, LOL, my last foray some weeks ago.
Since you have again suggested it, I'll simply forge ahead, damn all torpedo's, and let fly.

I make no apology for asking you to visit this link. Here we preach to the choir almost all the time. Out there we try to reach someone else. Out there telling your friends about a link is "acceptable" when in here it may not be. Out there you may not be out but may be able to pass a message on.
I ask you to pass the message on. I ask you to reblog the message with any appropriate additions you think will fit. It is licenced under the Creative Commons licence, it just requires attribution.
