Thanks to you, I'm a nominee!

Well, I am one of about 12 trillion people nominated for the Clik Magazine Elite 25! I think that's pretty awesome, don't you?

I have no idea how many people nominated me, but a lot of my homies, bros, and friends are telling me that they did. I am so grateful! Hugs, grips, and dap to all of you.

So that means I'm going to Atlanta! The Awards are going to be held at the Fox Theatre, which looks pretty grand. There will be a Red Carpet and everything -- I should hire a publicist to hold my hand and take me away from the paparazzi so I can smile, shrug and say "I gotta gooooo..." just like J-Lo. (LOL that was SO an inside joke that you kinda had to be there for.)

Then there's gonna be a meet and greet, the actual award announcements, a champagne toast, and an afterparty. Not bad for a Thanksgiving weekend affair.

It's sorta quick notice, but I am excited. I'll fly into Atlanta on Friday morning and try to meet up with as many of my friends as possible. I'd also like to visit with some frat brothers while I'm there. Perhaps take a tour of the Atlanta University Center.

So yeah.... if you want to attend this event, just visit clikhonors.com for more info.

Addressing Homophobia: Building Understanding Through Dialogue

I'm going to be visiting the Howard University School of Law today to see an event called Addressing Homophobia: Building Understanding Through Dialogue. While I am not on the panel, I thought it would be good to show up in support of such an event, especially in light of recent events at other HBCUs regarding the topic of homosexuality.

If you're interested in popping by, there will be free food while supplies last, according to the Facebook invitation.

Nathaniel Brown of OutLaw is the host and Tommy Jackson will be the moderator.

It will be today, October 26, at 3:00pm at the Howard University School of Law, Houston Hall, Room 4. HUSL is located at 2900 Van Ness Street in Upper Northwest, DC. You can access it vis the Van Ness-UDC metro station.

From the Facebook invitation:

Please join us for an interesting discussion where members of the student body share their life experience being LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered). This will be an open forum where panelists will answer questions from attendees.

Have you ever wondered if being homosexual is a choice?
Do gay Republicans really exist?
Would you like to get a better understanding of the needs of your LGBT client?

If so this is a event you won't want to miss!
