Not Like Other Boys: Growing Up Gay: A Mother and Son Look Back

July 26, 2015

The dual authorship - toggling back and forth between the son and mother's versions of their lives growing up as/with a gay son might strike some as disruptive or overly designed, but it provides a depth of emotional trial that hearing either side of the story alone would not provide.

The boy, from early years, felt there must be something different about him, some flaw that must be obvious to all around him that kept him from fitting into the preordained all-american-boy model. As he realizes that a sexual attraction to other boys is at the heart of his "problem", his concern and confusion are retrained to fear of exposure and self-hatred.

<h2 class="heading-style-h4">What is Spoken Word?</h2>

Poetry and spoken word traditions are as ancient as storytelling itself, but modern spoken pos comes from the 50’s Beat Generation poets and the 60’s Black Arts Movement (see these amazing articles from Smithsonian Folkways and FolkWorks for more history), with vocal cadences and rhythmic conventions rooted in African musical tradition. And like the banjo, rock n roll, jazz, rap, and so many of our global musical traditions and cultural staples, we must continue to acknowledge and honor historically erased African roots.
