This is why documentation is important because there's no way someone will come out and say that houses and balls are a new thing in the Nigerian queer space. 2014 UNN, the first thing that someone advised me to do was avoid Room 420 which was apparently a house for gays.
@Nibiru1000 Isn’t funny that you’re fighting to keep the pennies you’re being offered in the name of “Black jobs” when the true people gatekeeping and apportioning these pennies are the ones you’re voting to be in control? So the problem is immigrants? That’s as far as you can think? Hmm!🤔
Immensely grateful to Erin and everyone at @SundressPub for letting me work on my second book of poems in Knoxville.
Also to John Estes and the University of Alabama, for their support and generous funding!
Not a rapist.
Not a murderer.
Not a child molester.
Not a pedophile.
Not a woman beater.
Not one of the hundreds of politicians whose greed is directly related to their poverty.
A gay man.
