“Yes, I am,” he said.

“Am what, baby?” I asked.

“Gay. I’m gay.”

That is what a writer we call Amelia’s 7 year old son told her a couple of month’s ago while she was on the phone discussing her son’s crush on Glee’s character Blaine.

“Yes, I am,” he said.

“Am what, baby?” she asked.

“Gay. I’m gay.”

After her initial shock of what her son had just said she simply responded with “I love you so much.”

Her son’s response: “I know,” he said, and ran off to play with his brothers.

Just like a scene from a romantic movie I noticed him from across the room, as he seemingly moved in slow motion making his way thru the crowd and toward the area of the club where I was standing. His eyes were mesmerizing. He was strikingly beautiful with classic “boy next door” looks. He could hands down give any male runway model a run for their money. I wanted him, and I wanted him to want me. I knew I wouldn’t forgive myself if I left the club without accomplishing that.

As fate would have it his walk stopped right next to me and he positioned himself side by side with me to watch the strip show everyone was there to see. I didn’t need another sign, that was enough. I taped his shoulder, reached out my hand to shake his, leaned over into his ear and said “Hi I’m Toy. I had to introduce myself because you look JUST like my next boyfriend.”…He instantly smiled one of the biggest, warmest smiles I had seen in a while. He laughed and replied “Is that so?”……….I was in!

We conversed for the next 30min as if there was no one else in the club but us. He was shy and he blushed a lot as I showered him with every slick line I had learned over my years as a male hunter. It was a perfect meet and he was perfect boyfriend material. I actually had the innate feeling that I already knew him and that comfort level made everything that much easier. It was only when one of the strippers approached us to give him a hug that a distinct vision popped in my head….I did already know him! The vision was a porn scene I had jacked off to from one of my favorite porn sites featuring exclusively raw porn! My heart dropped.

The 2012 Year has officially begun and its no longer new. MLK weekend marked the first official Holiday of the year and thus marking the year for LGBT Pride And Circuit parties for the African American set. Atlanta hosted its ‘Unofficial Mini Winter Pride 2012′ weekend with a lack luster of fanfare and too many events to count which lead to mass confusion on the part of the patrons. Which brings me to the reason for this post.

During major Black Gay Pride/Circuit Events club promoters in major cities, Atlanta, D.C. Detroit, Los Angeles, Houston scramble for various club locations throughout the city and begin booking a list of celebrities from musical acts to B-list reality stars. My question to the those that hold our fun in their hands is WHY? Why are club/promoters spending thousands of dollars on acts who will be in their clubs for 20 minutes, won’t give us a concert, won’t allow us to take pics of them, won’t sign our favorite cds, posters, t-shirts, etc. showing our support of them? I will tell you why, its because of the all mighty dollar or so they think. If a club promoter gets lucky enough to book a major act it means they can charge outrageous prices at the door and we will line up like solder army ants waiting to meet our favorite queen of entertainment; keeping in mind that we will most likely get no showcasing of the artists talents, if they even have any.

In the past, clubs/promoters like Traxx Atlanta, Xtreme Entertainment, Lion’s Den and Wassup N Atl have booked major acts like Fantasia, Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj, Amber Rose, Evey Real House Of Atlanta with a booking agent and Dondria and we did what we do best, lined up to pay our fee to get a view from the back of the room and witness their 5 minutes of stage time. The only ones who seem to benefit from this is the actual promoter themselves and their best friends. They at the least get their pics taken with said artist to post on facebook and get bragging rights for the next 2 months until the next event. While you the lonely soul who stands in line for hours get NADA… I take that back, at least you were in the building.
