Today is the beginning of Pride weekend. Sunday is also my birthday. Hooray! It's always great to celebrate both.
Taking the weekend off for some fun in the sun. Light posting resumes Monday.

Happy Birthday, Rod!!!
Well, you're a Cancer. And I'm a Pisces. We get along well...from a distance.
But we both have to beware of those dangerous, sexy Scorpios. They'll steal your heart and rock your world. I know (tears, and a sip of vodka)

@Derrick: Yes we Scorpios have that ability;).
Happy B-day Rod and have fun!

A wonderful, joyous birthday to you, Rod! I've done a little cyber-inventory and come to the conclusion that your blog is absolutely unique in covering the global African Diaspora---gay and otherwise---on a consistent basis. THANK YOU! Keep telling OURSTORY and revel in your birthday (and Pride) celebrations!

Rod, thank you so much for all you have done. Co-signing what John said above....you cover "our" community from the ballroom kids to the brothas in the board room to news in Africa and Europe. And with a cleverness and style.
Love the fact that you can write for Ebony, appear on Russian radio and tv and write for tv news. Versatility yassss!
