As some of you may know I try to stay updated in the Lesbian Community as well as African American Community. With that being said, I decided to respond to a letter in the Black Enterprise (August 2007 Issue) that discussed corporate LGBTQ's.
The subject matter concerned me a bit being that as an "dominant appearing female" I have gone through different struggles and experiences and wanted to express that. You can check out "Out Of The Corporate Closet" in the May 2007 issues of Black Enterprise. I believe in supporting one another in this large subject matter and wanted to enclose those who sent responses to my letter.

Letter's Of Response
Hey, I read your response in Black Enterprise. I can't say I have any advice, because I share pretty much the same experiences and frustrations as yourself, but I am glad you responded simply because I live in South Carolina, and I have always been under the impression that this "stud/dom" discrimination on a corporate level was just about location.
Now I know I can unpack my bags and just ride this out (lol). Hold it down sista....

Hello Maisha,
My name is D, regardless of what my email address name is. I am just writing to tell you as a lesbian in the military I understand about your perception. When people see me at work and hear my voice they assume either I am not a lesbian or those who are in our circle of family and friends think that i am not bullish enough to be the aggressive type because I don’t dress like they expect me and my voice does not fit my appearance. I am a lesbian and I will refer to myself as the less feminine one regardless of how i dress. I am a very neat, clean, hair is done on a weekly basis, and I also do spa once or twice a month. So for people to judge you because you sound nice and feminine on the phone and your appearance is much different is wrong, as a sister I will tell you do not change you to be someone else for everybody else. It’s like deny your birth rights. I do not deny I am a lesbian; however I don’t go around tell everyone my business. We have a don't ask don't tell policy and because I enjoy the military and traveling this is one policy I hold dear to my heart along with a few others.
Stay Strong
D
Hi Maisha,
I just wanted to say that I read your letter in the August 2007 Black Enterprise and truly admire your courage to follow your dream. I am an out and proud Black Gay man and know how difficult things can be. My goal is to not be a victim and always strive to overcome obstacles; even when they seem impossible or cause a great deal of pain.
In 1994 I told my wife of 18 years that I was gay and our lives were turned upside down. Much healing has taken place since then. A group I formed in 1999 when I relocated from Dallas to Houston called The Men's Gathering is about empowerinig Black Gay men. See the link www.tmghoustontexas.com. I can be reached at [email protected]
Sincerely,
Paul Guillory
