Thank you for reading friend. I know these pieces hold tension—searing truth. But I promise, we will release that tension at the perfect moment. We have not abandoned hope, but night is darkest before the dawn.

Thank you, dear friend, for you comment, for reading and sharing. I never knew what had happened him to despite having seen and loved his silent films.

It wouldn’t be till college I learned. But I never forgot the story, or the way the media of the time treated his killing. Even when doing some extra reading for this tribute, you can still find erroneous claims about sex toys left at the scene, or that he was choked to death with, which is patently untrue.He died choking on his own blood.

To see his death treated with such indecency has stayed with me ever since I learned of it, a story waiting to be retold. Truth that could not remain silent any longer.

Thank you for reading Carolyn! I appreciate so much you using your voice to amplify my own. This Pride feels dark, the weight of night pressing on our little fire. Yet—Night cannot overcome the flame, so long as someone keeps it tended.
