OFTEN


``Often it doesn’t matter who you take advice from. What matters more are the goals you have in mind in the actions you take. An ethical person can easily figure out if a person is thoughtful, principled, kind and LOVing – especially through a face-to-face interview or a face-to-face interaction. Always keep good ethical principles in mind when taking action.  NOT revenge, deceit, or deception. Always work towards thinking positively when considering a person’s past record and past history and be fair, considerate, and balanced in your judgments.  This goes for judges at every level, career counselors, human resources chiefs, politicians at every level, staff developers, corporate heads and government department heads and the rest of the public. ‘’

LGBTQ - Who, WHAT - Please read this as time allows.

You know, Malcolm said it best. We've been hoodwinked, we've been had, we have been taken to the cleaners.

     A good friend of mine at church always makes fun of the ``L-G-B-T-Q'' phenomenon. We are a very Gay-Friendly church, so it is NOT at all that we don't like our Black Gay community.   ``a fact or event of scientific interest susceptible to scientific description and explanation'' this is the definition of ``phenomenon'' from the Merriam Webster Dictionary on line. 

   The phenomenon L-G-B-T-Q { Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans-gendered, Queer } is always written in terms of an abbreviation such as I have done so here. This shortens our importance, shortens our room and space in the ENGLISH language, shortens who we are and takes us down a peg or two in the  marketplace of ideas as presented in the media, in history books, in text books, and in our Way of thinking. I think and feel we need to, as people whose walk some say on a different path in life, I feel we need to tell the world who we are in broad terms and say the terminology correctly and just say - Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans-gendered and Queer as it is and not use the abbreviations. We deserve the space and we deserve to be treated with respect, dignity and grace. We must also treat ourselves as such as well. Some of our behaviors are outright silly and the over sexualization of our community is not something we have to all embrace and accept as Gay People.  When diseases are spread as a result of this over sexualization, it calls into question the legality and legitimacy of our behaviors for health reasons. Certainly so-called straight people of all races are not immune to over-sexualization judging from media, news reports, and statistics from both rural areas, the Royal Family, and inner cities. The commercialization of ``swinging off the chandeliers'' in such movies as ``Animal House,'' and some of the films about Las Vegas.  Comedies about sexual promiscuity is a subject often explored with mirth and merriment. It started with ``Portnoy's Complaint'' in 1972 and has run a steady river of films ever since. 

     I have been working to bring more decency to adult Gay Black male films.  There are several investors who want to work with me, but have been stymied in their attempts to reach me and make good on bringing my ideas into the main stream. Simply put, I want to make films for Black GAY men that omit spitting, hitting, any type of violence, omit sharing of body fluids, rimming, CURSING, AND INCLUDE EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL ABOUT SEXUALITY THAT IS BOTH INSTRUCTIONAL AND HELPFUL FOR GAY BLACK COUPLES WANTING TO ENGAGE IN SEX THAT THEY FEEL IS MORE IN LINE WITH WHAT THEY WILL FEEL WANTS AND TO HELP US UNDERSTAND AS MORE ACCEPTABLE TO GOD.  You would think it wasn't such a big deal. It will require changing the movie rating system to make more sense and helping people become more open-minded towards a new and different film gerund.

     If you work in the film industry, I need your help in creating this new gerund OF FILM. I know some directors, but guess what. As a Black man, I know few people who have the cash and connections to create this film gerund, which, by the WAY, will help many people become less focused on sexual behaviors that are risky and unsafe.  It will actually help our BLACK culture tune down the sex-bonker mentality that has recently resulted in so many men especially coming up on charges of crossing the line with women { or men } because the entire film industry will be positively impacted by the offer of such films as an option, not required as the only FILM gerund for everyone, but an option for people who want to slow things down a bit. 

     I want you to call me when you have some information that will be useful for me in this QUEST! It is a QUEST to bring out our true nature of decency and not accept the MEDIA hype. You can reach me at 1 215 823 9985. My name is Mr. Tracy Gibson. I look forward to hearing from you very soon.

**  Here are some good things to at least think about while you go through your day. You DO NOT have to follow my directions as if I stand on a mountain with marble tablets like on television. I am asking you to read here and do what you feel is best. I will also put my book list here for you to read some books that will help you. I have only read about 40 of them. I am NOT expecting you to read all of them. One or two will - just the titles - will call you and tell you they want to be read. First some good ideas to follow:

***** Stop Short-changing US as Black people. 

***** Don't respond to the ridiculous.

***** Don't get angry.

***** Don't accept poverty.

***** Don't mistreat anyone, especially children. { Children are MY BOSSES! }

***** Don't allow others to define you, define yourself.

*****Don't be hateful towards others.

***** Don't be fearful of doing the research necessary to Prove your theories. 

***** Don't be disrespectful of your Parents, Grand Parents and BLACK ancestors.  

{What you don't want to reinvent about your ancestors, you can forgive and start a new relationship with them, even if they are deceased. } 

***** Don't live in an environment that is not pleasing to YOU.

***** Always LOVe yourself and GOD!

(Every Black Man and Black Woman { and the rest of BLACK people who have different gender identifications }  on the planet should read ALL of these books at least once, BUT THE REALITY IS THIS WOULD PUT GREAT PRESSURE ON READERS AND TURN OUT TO not BE VERY PLEASING AND WORTH WHILE. I WANT, hope and Pray ALL BLACK PEOPLE will READ MORE, BUT I KNOW WE LIVE IN A DIFFERENT AGE WHERE READING IS NOT AS RESPECTED AS IT SHOULD BE. Young Blacks should also read some of these books, although some may have adult themes and adult subject matter.  Again, parents or guardians should pre-read some books first for minor children ages 15 through 18. Many of these books are not suggested for readers younger than 15 years of age..... Many of the older books (and some new ones) are, of course, available at the Library. If you need some guidance as to how to aim the books listed here at your particular problem, be it financial, emotional, political, Spiritual or organizational—call and tell us what issue you want to read about and we will tell you what books to read that deal with that particular subject matter.  This is a good idea because some of the titles are misleading.  As the old saying goes, don’t judge a book by its’ title ( or cover ) !!! Call and ask for Brother Tracy Gibson at 1 (215) 823 9985 or e-mail us at BrotherTracy11@GMail.Com or KokayiJESUS333@GMail.COM..... We are more than willing to guide you to a book pertaining to the subject matter you want to explore… It is not easy to be a good BLACK parent. I don't have children myself, except for the *8.9 Billion humans on this planet earth. Have a fantastic day…)🌎
