Men in Kilts: New Hiking & Backpacking Group

[caption id="attachment_12579" align="aligncenter" width="320"] Serving the community and Social Justice and Engagement![/caption]

I've seen an article on a local blog supporting a new group in the Albany, NY, Capital District Area and I asked for for permission to republish the article (in edited form). Consistent with my interest in social justice and support of the local gay men's community platform, I urge all of my followers to support the group in whatever way they can. It's so unique we think it should get all the support it can get.




Now, seriously, this is no scam. I've done my homework as usual and have gotten the facts and verified them. But, as always, I'll let the group speak for itself and here's what the spokesperson has to say about the group:
"We are a group of gay men who are passionate about the outdoors, hiking, and backpacking. There are many terrific and challenging trails in this part of the country, particularly in New York and Vermont. Our group is mixed, that is, it's made up of experienced trekkers and novices, but all are welcome. We have one thing that sets us apart from all the rest on the trails: we are all Celts either by ancestry or spirit, and we live many of the Celtic traditions and culture, particularly the kilt. We hike the trails in kilts!" [Name withheld by me.]

You GO! guys![/caption]

Given the amount of negative material to cover in the Albany, NY, area, this group seems to have a lot going for it. Albany's support of the traditional American Celtic holiday, St Patrick's Day, was disappointing at best. There were few musical or cultural events to commemorate the holiday or the Celtic traditions. As usual, all you could find were drunks, fights, police patrols, and the usual Albany attractions.

I applaud innovation and courage and these guys seem to have a good dose of each. Bravo for them! I'd like to see more like them out there appreciating the beauty of the area, taking care of nature and just being a part of the world. The Gay Kiltics (that's not a misspelling, it's what they're called) could be a lesson for all of Albany and elsewhere, whose mission in life it seems is to kill, destroy, litter, pollute, and just generally be ugly!

Anyone interested in joining me in supporting the group or even in joining the group can contact Gay Kiltics Hiking and Backpacking.

The Homoerotic Tantra blog supports the Gay Kiltics Hiking and Backpacking group as a community organization but is not the contact for information about or for the group. Please direct all of your inquiries to the group at Gay Kiltics Hiking and Backpacking.

Homoerotic Beauty: Legendary Male Lovers

Image
During my studies in seminary, one of my professors in pastoral counseling introduced a new trend: we each had to choose a fiction book or novel and report on the characters’ psychology and make our recommendations for diagnosis and for treatment. At the time I was not practicing homoerotic Tantra, of course, so I chose a wonderful book, “Birds without Wings,” by Louis De Bernières. Briefly, the book is the story of a small coastal town in South West Anatolia in the dying days of the Ottoman Empire told in the richly varied voices of the people - Christians and Muslims of Turkish and Greek and Armenian descent - whose lives are rooted there, intertwined for untold years. There is Iskander, the potter and local font of proverbial wisdom; Karatavuk - Iskander's son - and Mehmetcik, childhood friends whose playground stretches across the hills above the town, where Mehmetcik teaches the illiterate Karatavuk to write Turkish in Greek letters. There are Father Kristoforos and Abdulhami

Penetration and Transfiguration: Entering Your Partner's Sacred Sanctuary. How We Should Approach the Homoerotic Tantric Session. [caption id="attachment_542" align="aligncenter" width="685"] Open Yourself to Infinite Horizons! [/caption] When we see the word "penetrate" we see a word that means control, a violence. Penetration is forced entry into a space; there's nothing loving or gentle about it. It's wrongfully associated with masculinity for no good reason. Penetration, control, violence, brutality has no place in erotic expression between two men. Please note: The complete article has been moved to the Homoerotic Tantra:Mascul-IN-Touch website . Please visit that site to access the complete updated article. If you experience any trouble accessing the new website, please email Gay Daka Karuna (William) and request access authorization.   As gay men, as men in general, we have to stop the stressful and unfair thinking that we ha
