As a male rights/issues guy I think we need to reach out to all males. I don't care what a gay man does with his own dick and after having so many friends from so many races(I traveled a lot growing up, including living over seas) I can say I have more in common with any type of man than I do with women.

This is sad.

Article:

graduated from Harvey Milk High in 2002, worked at Gay Men of African Descent on HIV prevention, and was described as an "advocate for LGBT youth" -- hanged himself on Saturday. By most accounts, Jefferson was a true LGBT youth pioneer. More recently, Joseph Jefferson was said to be an assistant to Laurence Pinckney and James Saunders, New York City's popular Black LGBT event promoters. Jefferson was also active in New York City's colorful ballroom community.

This guy actually had access to a full supportive community. He even went to high school modeled to care for young gays. He was active in the gay community. This guy didn't kill himself from lack of available support or not knowing where to go for help.
