Stories

A collection of poetry and essays by GA Authors to commemorate the loss of our forty-nine sisters and brothers on June 12, 2016.

A peregrination, an exploration, a journey of mind, heart and memory,

I recall some San Francisco places that mean the most to me.

A brief take on my life up until now written in a very stylized idiom inspired by Gertrude Stein.

Various essays, many on LGBTI2S+ subjects, but some on music, etc.

Coming out has never been so fun. Follow me on my journey as I come out to various teams and fellow athletes. These are true stories, though names have been changed to protect everyone's identities.

I'll try to turn off the comments section for this...but if you see any errors in the text, please send me a private message here on GA.

**Warning: Anger ahead**

A new home for my poetry

Stories from my time on the street, in no particular order.

My thoughts, happy things, nice poems, just positive stuff allowed

This story is autobiographical in nature, but I have made some modifications to protect the identities of those included in it. All the names have been changed, and in some cases things such as gender, locations, and sometimes familial compositions have been altered.

All that being said, this is MY truth, and it's time I released it so that I'm free to create from a place other than brokenness and sadness.

This will be dark, but there are spots of light in the great black. No void is truly empty when one gazes into it. The light from our eyes illuminates more than we realize.
