About Me

I am a gay, African American writer. More of my published articles can be found at www.maxgordonworks.blogspot.com. It is my hope that my work will be an inspiration to younger gay and lesbian people, and thought provoking and entertaining for all readers. I have written about gay relationships, homophobia, racism, suicide, hate crimes, and addiction.I have been published in the anthologies Inside Separate Worlds: Life Stories of Young Blacks, Jews and Latinos (University of Michigan Press, 1991) and Go the Way Your Blood Beats: An Anthology of African-American Lesbian and Gay Fiction (Henry Holt, 1996.) My work has also appeared on openDemocracy, Democratic Underground and Truthout, in Z Magazine, Gay Times, Sapience, and other progressive on-line and print magazines in the U.S. and internationally, as well as in translation. I am currently working on a novel. I live in New York City.
