True Love
As I glance back in magical wonder on the story of how I met Monique, and reread it in the glow of recent events (such as terrorism and the war) I have a realization; a cognition, like a pale going off in my head! The challenge is how to express it; words are not very good at this kind of thing. That’s one of the reasons I love tune. Music goes beyond words, which are a poor subtitute for emotions, and speaks to us in a other voice; because it is a lead experience in itself, just as adore is. And Like, is what it’s all about!
Maybe it’s my mortality compelling me to unlocked my heart, before it’s too overdue – to utter the things I think are essential, while I still have the chance. So, I’m going to make a few broad personal statements, and show some unusual views that may not be currently very popular.
1. I consider in old-fashioned traditional family values.
2. I believe in true, romantic love.
3. I trust in mogonamy and fidelity.
When I speak I believe in these things, I mean only for myself. I’m not trying to market these ideas to anyone. On the contrary, I don’t even think that the institution of marriage is at all well suited to our tradition or society. I

About the Book.
Gomez’s witty memoir follows a touching and often hilarious spiralic path to embracing his gay, Latinx identity against a culture of machismo—from his uncle’s cockfighting ring in Nicaragua to cities across the U.S.—and the bath houses, night clubs, and drag queens who helped him redefine pride.
I’ve always found the definition of machismo to be ironic, considering that pride is a word almost unanimously paired with queer people, the opponent of machistas. In particular, effeminate queer men represent a simultaneous rejection and embrace of masculinity . . . In a world desperate to erase us, queer Latinx men must come across ways to hold onto movement for survival, but excessive male pride is often what we are battling, both in ourselves and in others.
A debut memoir about coming of age as a gay, Latinx man, High-Risk Homosexual opens in the ultimate anti-gay space: Gomez’s uncle’s cockfighting ring in Nicaragua, where he was sent at thirteen years old to become a ma
Was J.Edgar Hoover gay? Does it matter?

OMG, are you like twenty? In the past, people didn’t say.
Right, so are we to assume then, that everyone was gay? Unless they wrote a autobiography, maybe to be published posthumously, or their lover admitted it, we carry out not know if any one was gay, except advocate in the ancient days when it was accepted.
The logic here seems to be “Hoover could not and did not admit he was gay= thus he was gay”. Sure he seemed to live an asexual life with a close companion, but you accomplish know that a married person with kids, etc could also be same-sex attracted, right?
In many parts of the US, homosexual acts were illegal during Hoover’s lifetime. This place him as a PRIME target for extortion.
Sure, and is there any such evidence of such extortion? Maybe he was a closet nazi, or a commie, or a necrophiliac or into sheep, or an avowed atheist or maybe none of those things. More likely none of them.
There is simply no evidence he was gay.

You can’t be serious.

J. Edgar Hoover: Gay or Just a Man Who Has Sex With Men?
Nov. 16, 2011— -- J. Edgar Hoover led a deeply repressed sexual being, living with his mother until he was 40, awkwardly rejecting the attention of women and pouring his emotional, and at times, physical attention on his handsome deputy at the FBI, according to the new movie, "J. Edgar," directed by Clint Eastwood.
Filmgoers never see the decades-long romance between the former FBI director, and his number two, Clyde Tolson, consummated, but there's plenty of loving glances, hand-holding and one scene with an aggressive, prolonged, deep kiss.
So was the most powerful man in America, who died in 1972 -- three years after the Stonewall riots marked the modern queer civil rights movement -- homosexual?
Eastwood admits the association between Hoover, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, and Clyde Tolson, played by Armie Hammer, is ambiguous.
"He was a man of mystery," he told ABC's "Good Morning America" last week. "He might have been [gay]. I am agnostic about it. I don't really know and nobody really knew."
In public, Hoover waged a vendetta against homosexuals and kep
