    James Baldwin - Author and Playwright

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Baldwin_(writer)
    Surprised there wasnt already a thread.
    Anyway he was way ahead of his time and helped forge the path for gays especially African American gays who are sorely neglected and underrepresented in Gay American Politics.
    A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.

    Hey Ich, there is nothing in his Wiki link. I only know of him as a writer, not familiar with his activism. Know of any other sources or a good bio on him ??

    Sorry. Either the link died or I am uber fucked up. The latter is the most likely scenario.

    He was an awesome writer and a true activist...a hero, in other words.

    I read a few of his books as a teenager. They had a profound affect on me.
