This forum is here for us to discuss our enjoyment of watching hot sexy young guys having sex, and there will never be any general agreement as to exactly which guys are the hottest or the sexiest as we all have our own standards, but that is okay too, as long as we are all respectful to each other as human beings and fellow gay men, (and Beth, lol).
But seriously we all pay to be here so why shouldn't this be a fun place or as sometimes forumite Danleeh who has more than his share of problems in his life once called it, his "happy place". I can be guilty of name calling too, but after-all it's been said that grown men are just little boys at heart, and in my mind enough is enough with bad mouthing and name calling.
As long as we are all here, a diverse group of people from all corners of this nation and of this earth, I propose that we try our hardest not to offend each other and just take a step back and take a deep breath and chill.......and enjoy the naked boys that are the real reason we are all here.
In my neighborhood of Brooklyn Heights, we have a beautiful park right on the waterfront and there is currently standing a 25 foot rotating sculpture that can be seen from the East River and from lower Manhattan with the simple word UNDERSTANDING. It is done by a British sculptor, Martin Creed and explained by the director of the public arts fund who is sponsoring it here for this summer and fall.
“Martin Creed is a poet of the everyday,” said Public Art Fund Director & Chief Curator Nicholas Baume in a press release. “‘Understanding’ is a simple word with complex meanings; we might, for example, show understanding on an emotional level, even while not understanding what somebody has said or done… Both literally and figuratively, Creed offers us a new vantage point to see the world.”"
The rotating sculpture is raised on a platform with stair-like seating to relax by the waterside. As picturesque as it is, the color red was chosen as a contrast to all the bright white lights that pepper the city skyline. “Neon red is one of the most straightforward colors, it is the color of neon gas,” Creed says. “And yet, red is a danger color.”
I ask that we on the Broke Straight Boys forum take note of artist Martin Creed's work and try to have a little UNDERSTANDING right here.
