Growing up gay in the thugs’ neighborhood meant that one always had to endure being isolated. True, I know from experience not only being called the six letter “f” word but also being spit on having rocks and glass bottles thrown at you to say the least. As always people assumed those things happened to me because I was effeminate or I had been sexually aggressive towards one of the guys. ]]> no@spam.com (Joseph Berry) Tue, 22 May 2007 12:43:59 CDT http://www.gbmnews.com/articles/615/1/Growing-up-gay-in-da-quotthugs039quot-hood/Page1.html http://www.gbmnews.com/articles/320/1/News-Media-Coverage-How-much-is-too-much/Page1.html no@spam.com (Joseph Berry) Wed, 18 Apr 2007 16:58:38 CDT http://www.gbmnews.com/articles/320/1/News-Media-Coverage-How-much-is-too-much/Page1.html http://www.gbmnews.com/articles/194/1/The-movie-quotPridequot-inclusion-or-a-manipulative-marketing-ploy/Page1.html no@spam.com (Joseph Berry) Thu, 12 Apr 2007 12:40:18 CDT http://www.gbmnews.com/articles/194/1/The-movie-quotPridequot-inclusion-or-a-manipulative-marketing-ploy/Page1.html
