The first time I saw him on TV I was hooked. You knew this boy had talent. I wanted to be his best friend. But I was just a kid myself. It was obvious to anyone that he had talent big time. What he did for me as a regular person was entertain, what he did for me as a boylover was give me hope. He opened up a world of discussion. People talked about a man holding a boys hand and sleeping in bed with him. Many were outraged, some were not. No matter what anyone does, they will be judged. What people need is a frame of reference. It would be nice to have a leader, but MJ was not set up for that. Like people have said, he was just like the rest of us trying to stay out of jail. Just because someone has money does not mean they have an obligation to society to help better their (person with money) viewpoints. It was obvious that MJ thought he was an adult trapped in a man’s body. He just wanted to hang around boys. Well, that is how I feel and what I want to do. The only difference is the whole world was watching him. Do you know there are boys who love MJ and can’t talk about it? I think if the truth could come out, MJ would be labeled by us (BL’s) as a boylover. Nickless, you are much too harsh on MJ. Sure he could have done much more for our cause but for you to berate him with, “What a fucking waste of an otherwise talented life”, demeans you. People expect so much more out of people with money it sickens me. The problem with having the spotlight on you changes you. We do not have the luxury of having every fault of ours magnified until we go to court. Then the clowns come out and tell you how you should have behaved. It does not seem to me a question of if he is a boylover or not, it is a question of if he was a good boylover or not. But if he was a good boylover, whether in denial or not, he was indeed a boylover in my point of view. It seems so obvious to me that I cannot believe I am actually having to debate the issue with you. Maybe you or I would have done things different with our big monies but that should not exclude MJ from our prodigious label. Give him his due as a struggling BL. The only argument I have against the banner is the question of if MJ would have wanted it that way. If it was up to me I would put the banner up, but if it was up to MJ and his family they would not want any part of us. Still I say, fuck them and put the banner up for us. I am selfish like that. If I had his money my personality would be overly magnified and I suspect most of society would call me a freak too. I miss you MJ and will never forget that I am not alone. |
