This presidential election has brought to the surface, and given permission for people to express biases, hatreds, and fear toward minorities. It has brought out the ugliness that has long existed in America, but which is now "out of the closet." The election of an administration that will likely be hostile to LGBT people, women, minorities--anyone who is not a straight, white, male--will deeply challenge those of us who value difference, inclusion, and respect for all.

This presidential election has brought to the surface, and given permission for people to express biases, hatreds, and fear toward minorities. It has brought out the ugliness that has long existed in America, but which is now "out of the closet." The election of an administration that will likely be hostile to LGBT people, women, minorities--anyone who is not a straight, white, male--will deeply challenge those of us who value difference, inclusion, and respect for all.
We have our work cut out for us. This is not the time to shrink, but to stand tall. Not the time to bow down, but to resist. To claim our differences, to claim our power, and to act. We will need each other to weather the storm these next four years wil undoubtedly create.
Join us for a fire ceremony in which we invoke the power of the gay male tribe. We begin with a reading of the 14 Distinct Gay Male Gifts. We'll call the ancestors, connect with the tribe globally, and honor our sexuality. We'll end by symbolically transforming ourselves into light and love--and the form of manhood the world needs most.
Bring a drum or a rattle or just yourself.
We'll meet to the right of the payment booth, where the parking lot meets the beach. Text me if you need to: 914-479-7645.
