I’ve written on this blog and other places that one of my favorite experiences after accepting myself as a gay man was taking part in a inter-generational discussion of black gay men every other Saturday in Houston called The Men’s Gathering. Today, I’m speaking with one of the architects of the The Men’s Gathering in Dallas, Buster Spiller. Buster recounts his coming out story including two-and-half suicide attempts to leading out in a organization of 120+ black gay men in the Dallas area. His talk also challenges younger activists to break the chains of church homophobia and become more political active. Buster and I spoke at It’s a Grind coffee house in Deep Ellum, across from Baylor Hospital.
