Poet Cheryl Clarke speaks on black lesbian youth...part of a new documentary on lesbians of African descent...coming soon!.
F.Y.I.
hetrick martin is a New York City based non-profit organization devoted to serving the needs of (LGBTQ) youth...you can check the website here...

"black./womyn.:conversations..." will be a feature length docu-film that will concern lesbians of African descent living in the U.S. It will include over 50 interviews with black lesbians of all ages /classes /nationalities/locations discussing a variety of topics including coming out, sexuality and religion, love and relationships, patriarchy, visibility in media, among others as well as a series of short vignettes representing the topics discussed. I'm hoping to provide a film that can encourage progressive dialogue between people on dealing with the image of the black lesbian and the stereotype that come with who black lesbians are portrayed to be. I hope to encourage conversation between black lesbians dealing with class and age, and the lack of communication between these groups and how that affects the overall unity between black lesbians as a group in society.

'And if you is a poor black youth, a poor black AG youth, like Sakia Gunn....you aint got no where to go, except to Hetrick Martin. And they aint everywhere.'-
Yelp. And that is why we must become visible. We must show ourselves (and the world) who we are.

Merely protraying yourself in a possitive light does nothing in terms of prejudice. Homosexuals are human beings and as such can be promiscuos, selfish, and self centered just like anyone else. Although as a group who is the target of discrimination it can have a demoralizing effect.

The bottom line is we have to portrait our lifestyle in a positive light. Be a responsible and respectful citizens. Too many lesbian and gay men cannot be taken seriously because of bad , obnoxious behavior that are displayed in the public. For example, the haterolesexual community see some (most) of us hopping from one person to another and we need to stop . It's nasty and dangerous.
