COCK BLOG OF THE DAY: thomas & co.

thomas & co.: "Dear Editor,
As a gay male blogger in NYC, I am keenly interested in, what I call, sociological health issues in the gay community. Your article, 'AIDS pill as a party drug?,' struck an alarming chord with me. I often find myself incredulous at what the gay community is doing to itself. Yet the band plays on.
I find it is sometimes so hard to love myself when my tribe - my people, my connect to the world - is so intent on living SO recklessly, that it stinks of a death wish. Why are we so seemingly crazed to wantonly be with so many that we'll die to do it? I'll tell you why. We hate ourselves. Just like an alcoholic hates themself, or a drug addict hates themself, so too, a sex addict hates themself. But our specific self-hate comes from systemic societal rejection and negation. When the momentary orgasmic control/escape - or as the French say, la petite morte (little death) - defines and drives one's behavior, then one has forgotten one's self. We must remember ourselves. We are, after all, all we have.
This can also be applied to the straight community, but the playing fields are very different and unfairly balanced. As one knows, the 'golden child' (read: straight) is always favored over the 'red-headed step child.'"
