My first piece for AOL Black Voices is currently live on the site featuring the beautiful love story of Seanmichael Rodgers and Damien Ramsey, a couple I profiled late last year in our Coupled Up series.
As I expected there's tons of homophobic vitriol being spewed by my straight brothers and sisters who can't seem to keep their minds out of Damien & Seanmichael's bedroom long enough to focus on the core of the piece which is about the love they share.
A special thanks to Angela Bronner Helm, Senior Editor at Black Voices Life & Style for having the courage to show the black community a true example of black SGL men & same gender love that isn't entrenched in the hysteria of the down low.
Read the entire article here and by all means join the discussion.

Darian, I'll just take this moment to congratulate you for your first piece for AOL Black Voices. I hope that Damien & Seanmichael keep going strong. I'll certainly comment on the AOL Black Voices website as well; the homophobia, though expected, is working my nerves.

I won't bother commenting on Black Voices. I know what kind of rancor the chatters on there have for gays and lesbians.
Anyway, I can't reiterate enough how much I love "coupled up."

You're very welcome Darian. I wasn't expecting that reply from you, so thank you for acknowledging me & welcoming me to your blog.
There are a lot of homophobes ranting and raving on AOL Black Voices, but there are also some people commenting in support of Damien & Seanmichael, including ToddyEnglish, who said he wouldn't "bother commenting on Black Voices".
