Hey so I'm looking at Quiltbag. I thought I'd see a lot more posting and new threads. As a gay person, there's so much going on. I feel as if my gay identity takes me down paths and perspectives unique to other gay people. I feel like our magazines have ads unique to us, my gay friends often make decisions about vacation spots etc that the mainstream often do not take.
Theres zillions to talk about. What am I missing? I don't think I'm reading the "last post dates" wrong. Since I've been on AW and lurking Quiltbag I'm wondering if I make too much of a big deal about being gay now. I'm feeling a little isolated. Theres almost no gay community in my writing world at home. There are almost no threads or posting in Quiltbag on AW.
What does it mean? Am I the only gay writer that needs gay community? Thats the only theory I can see. The previous "gay writing groups" thread sorta fleshed that out.
I'm 52, as a gay person, I feel terribly old. I'm jealous of the other minorities that organize and network so much. I'm so sick of seeing the "International Women's Writing Guild" and "Pyramid Lake, a writer's retreat for women."
I feel like I'm in the twilight zone. With everything going on related to the gay identity, there is no International GLBT Writing Guild or Pyramid Lake, a retreat for gay people."
ugh.
