Orkut is good for something
Just trying to figure out what's in there and how it works I was fooling around with the Network thing…seeing who knows the people I know. Saw a familiar name from, damn, 10-15 years ago. A pre-Internet, dial up BBS name.
Turns out Eric McGill knows both EJ Flavors and James Knox. Eric gave me my first highly conscious conversation about the intersection of Black and Gay (it took some drawing out, because it was in a public forum I was moderating). And he gave me the opportunity to create one of my best lines.
He in Cali, I in NY were talking about something or other when he felt it necessary to let me know he's gay, and I'm like "So?" He said since a lot of straight men get uncomfortable once they find that out he felt he'd get it out of the way. I told him it wasn't an issue, and besides if his dick was long enough to threaten me I'd have heard of him before that point.
