Yes,
I know I am on a summer break...BUT...I would like to encourage readers to click
on to the link below as I think it is very important for everyone in societies worldwide that this absurd notion about gay
people needing to be ‘cured’ is killed off once and for all.
Sexuality
has to be in the genes. How else can there be millions of us worldwide from all
kinds of socio-cultural-religious backgrounds?
The less enlightened among the heterosexual majority need to change the
record and get real.

A reader, 'Anton' has asked me to repeat the link (again) to my informal poetry reading on the 4th plinth in Trafalgar Square in 2009 as part of Antony Gormley's One and Other 'live sculpture' project. Be warned, it lasts an hour:

Creative
writing or any kind of creativity for that matter is a wonderful therapy. Don’t
worry about being any good at it or not, just focus and go ahead; it is always
a worthwhile exercise.
Now,
I am not having as relaxing a break as I would like and am experiencing a lot
of unexpected stress. As always, writing poems - especially love poems - helps
relieve that stress and I would like to share this one with you today.
GAY
FOLKS DO
There
is a fire in me
that
burns night and day,
but
they say
it
can’t possibly be love
because
we’re gay
and
everybody knows
gay
folks
don’t
do love, only camp,
butch
and sex
There
is a light in me
that
shines night and day
but
they say
it
can’t have anything to do
with
spirituality
since
everybody knows
gay
folks
only
have time for sexual
identity
There
is a voice in me
that
sings night and day
about
life, love,
and
the sheer beauty
of
being gay,
loving
someone who loves
me
too,
Earth
Mother watching
over
us
