Calling ALL True Warriors

8-20-2005

I've been sitting on the sidelines watching the activities and dynamics of Bill's sites for about three years now and I have a few things I feel I must say.

Bill works a lot on the sites; he spends about sixteen hours a day, seven days a week and 365 days a year at work on them, including every holiday on the calendar. He does this to help resolve the numerous problems extant in this subculture. He has been at work promoting gay rights and causes for about 33 years now. He started doing this work when others were afraid even to "come out", much less to openly help other gay people. While doing this he has used his actual name and not an alias or an Internet handle...he does everything in an honest and aboveboard fashion and he never flinches or retreats one inch in his work on behalf of our subculture. He has always done this throughout the entirety of his adult life.

I often wonder how much longer I'm going to allow him to continue to do this work at this pace...it wears him out and he is utterly exhausted most of the time...I don't know if it's worthwhile for him to continue doing this.

In addition to all of this he had to take care of me as I recovered from my chest surgery. It was yet more work for him to do...,but he took very good care of me and he did it without complaint...in spite of his already hectic schedule.

You may wonder what I'm getting at here. That I can answer very easily...except for a very notable few like Beagle Jones, very few of the guys using the site bother to thank Bill for it nor do they even care to send in a dollar or two once a month to help pay for it. I don't particularly mind letting Bill do the work...since he WANTS to do it in any case, but I'm not at all sure I can sit by and watch him struggle to PAY for the sites so he can spend so much time working to help others. That just isn't at all fair.

So if any thing Bill has said or done on the sites has helped you at all, won't you please stick a dollar or whatever in an envelope and send it to the P.O. Box? If we all did this every month we could not only pay for faster and better sites with better features, we could also buy advertisements on the major Online venues and even make the Frot Video that Bill has been wanting to do for a couple of years now.

Please skip Starbuck's -or whatever- ONE time this month and send the money to Bill, won't you?

There are others out there who need the same help from Bill all of us have already had.

Every last dollar donated makes a BIG difference.

My heartfelt thanks go out to those who have stuck by us thus far.

Peace

Thanks Patrick.

I love you.

Guys, we've had some unexpected site expenses this month and we need donations *right away* to pay for them.

Yesterday, I got an email from a guy saying that this Personal Stories page is loading slowly and asking could I fix it.

My answer was, "Not without money."

Guys, that's the truth.

Techs don't work for free.

My guess is that some of you are techs -- certainly some of you are in IT work -- and you could do it for free -- but you never offer.

So it has to be paid for.

As I said to my correspondent -- I don't know what you guys expect of me.

You want me to not only answer all your email and help you with your problems promptly; but work with epidemiologists and anthropologists and public health officials; maintain a media presence and outreach; AND run and maintain four sites and their attendant message boards -- all for free.

Earth to Frot guys!

It can't be done.

Truth is, you donate so little and so erratically that these sites are barely alive.

While around you the culture becomes on one side more analist and on the other more fundamentalist.

What a combination!

And these two forces, both of which are opposed to your very existence, become more entrenched with each passing day.

Guys, human progress is not guaranteed.

Technology tends to chug right along.

But social progress is dependent upon human beings acting -- indeed struggling -- to bring it about.

Do nothing, and either nothing will change -- or life, in social terms, will actually get worse.

Because human beings tend to establish tyrannies.

And that's what's been going on in your lives.

The analists have established a tyranny of anal penetration.

While the religious right is working very hard to establish a "Christian" tyranny in which gay and bi men would be eunuchs.

That's their goal: a Christian States of America, in which there's no sex between men, and no sex outside of hetero marriage.

And every day they get a little closer to that goal.

Not only are the federal and state executives and legislatures dominated by "pro-family" forces, but so are the courts.

And it's the courts you need to worry about.

I know that those of you who are gay grew up learning to conceal your orientation; and that after you came out you learned to conceal your love of Frot.

And I know that most of you who are bi still believe you have to hide your love of men.

But living a lie doesn't help.

And sitting on your hands when I appeal for help guarantees that your situation will grow infinitely worse.

You need to act.

And you need to act NOW.

DONATE.

Fight back.

Save your life.
