#the malulani moreno situation is my roman empire

[your-dads-top]

Over two and a half years later and I'm once again reminded of what went down. I've had the chance to read more literature by gay men based in Ontario (some good, some bad), which has left me feeling depressed. There are so many things that are buried in favour of this mass marketed crap, so many experiences that collect dust.

It also doesn't help that in prepping the resources I need for when I eventually go to grad school, one of the websites hosting all the old journals went under so now 30 years worth of content is missing.

I hate that I feel so useless right now when it comes to lending what little support I can. I wish I hadn't pursued TC so I could have my voice and not have to worry about getting stalked before I even get to cash a cheque.

The Malulani Moreno situation has hit me in a specific way that I decided to buy a book written by a Southern Ontario based (gay male) author who is engaged to they/them “pansexual” man.  Despite the fact that I want to set boundaries from the gender stupidity, at the end of the day this man is kin.  

Opposite-sex attracted women like Becky Albertalli can cry into their hundreds of thousands of dollars all they want, but gay men- exclusively same-sex attracted men- are overwhelmingly unemployed and underemployed.  Our labour isn’t valued.
