Place: Goin’ Home
I’m heading home to Louisiana this weekend, for my nephew’s wedding. I don’t make it back very often, but whenever I do I usually return with good stories. I find that most of my best work, or at least the writing I’m most proud of, pertains to home and how it intersects with my gay identity. I’m listing it here, for your perusal.
Land Without Pride
The Dirty Brown
Mardi Gras in New Orleans Part 1
Mardi Gras in New Orleans Part 2
I hope that in some small way these posts inspire our readers to submit content about the place they call home, and how it has shaped and found expression in their own journey. For those of you who accept that challenge, I hope you enjoy and gain benefit from the process of sifting through your own hidden histories and complex identity. I sincerely hope I have an opportunity to read your stories.
