AKA_Monet, thank you for your kindness. The Alphas on GreekChat on the whole have chosen to ignore the issue when they are not telling me that I should have never been one. It's not all of them who are bashing me openly in PMs or blatantly on the boards, but there is tacit agreement from many of the rest. I am taking it to the public to end the taboo about the topic. I am a gay Alpha who is bashed by other Alphas and so long as I remain silent about it, it will keep happening. In terms of the profanity -- go through what I've been through and maybe you'd be profane, too. I won't apologize for the sentiments or the language. You thoughts are noted, however, and much appreciated.
All in all, I didn't expect to recieve so much positivity from my post. I know you all don't normally see the "Kennedy Street" side of me, but he's there and will come out when pushed too far. I will acknowledge that I am under EXTREME stress to get Lazarus out on time, and it's moments like this where I really feel the alone-ness of self-publishing. I've got to deal with final proofreads, a cover designer who is in Japan and answers his phone when he feels like it, and waiting for checks to clear at the bank....lol....it's been crazy. So when I come to GC (for entertainment mind you!) I don't expect to receive messages of intolerance in my inbox.
So that's why I'm still taking the path that I mentioned in the first post. I'm not going to the Alpha forum and I'm not taking any PMs from Alphas. They all know how to get at me if they need to speak to me, but as far as GC goes, I've got nothing to say.
I am far too hot for the foolishness.
I thank you all for the love, for real.

I think you are far too hot also...
Also, many of the BGLO's need to own up to their members they have in them, including my own Sorority... Don't get me wrong, I love my AKA, like any other BGLO loves their org. However, we take in some fools that act a fool, then we take noble men, such as yourself that portray the quintessence of what "fraternity" out to be--especially in the African American community...
I like the Alpha room when there are folks in there. I've known some guys there a long time. However, it hurts to see that you are mocked for how you choose to live, out in the open as a gay black man that is an Alpha that came in through legal processes... What is wrong with your picture? You are working in your chapter, starting on your career as a writer and you get flack from your brothers????
How strongly do you feel about revocation of your membership? Because that can happen... But my question is why? And would you let some fools get the best of you like that there? Hey, some of my own chapter sorors act foolish to me ALL the time and I am a 15 year member!!!
