I don't want to be Pollyanna-ish, because the life of a community such as this one at the present time is always going to entail a certain amount of grief and horror. We have to have a place to express that side of our experience.

But I agree with you - I think boylove is something to be celebrated as a source of pleasure and joy as well as occasional pain. We should express that here too. Not just because it is a way of defying the people who want us to be miserable, but also because I think it is just true that most boylovers experience their orientation as something that gives value to their lives.

So here's one of the most joyful contemporary choral works I know from one of the best boy soloists I know of:

When tyrants tremble in their fear,
And hear their death-knell ringing,
When friends rejoice both far and near,
How can I keep from singing?
In prison cell and dungeon vile,
Our thoughts to them go winging;
When friends by shame are undefiled,
How can I keep from singing?
