enoughtohold:Poet, novelist, and professor Melvin Dixon, May 29, 1950 – October 26, 1992.Influenced by James Baldwin, Dixon wrote extensively about his homosexuality, specifically about the complexities of being a gay black man. Speaking on this topic at a speech to the Third National Lesbian and Gay Writers Conference, Dixon said, “As white gays deny multiculturalism among gays, so too do black communities deny multisexualism among their members. Against this double cremation, we must leave the legacy of our writing and our perspectives on gay and straight experiences.” -- source link
