Detroit Story

As seen in other entries with the same label, there was a real-life concern from the city of Detroit which came up. That was in 1966/67. At the time, my uncle's family had a policeman neighbour near them. My uncle and the policeman used to speak to each other. The name of the street began with "Mack" letters. [The letters have been significant.] The "Beverly Hills Cop" movies--3 of them to my knowledge--have been relevant, I believe; and they were about a Detroit police officer who went to Beverly Hills to find out some information. The stories were fictional but I believe there were some real details, or references to real life, in them. *** As I've written elsewhere in this blog, my parents and I weren't aware that anything about my life was being marketed before I was 18 years of age or more. And I don't believe people--any people--had a right to make judgments for commercial or political purposes. They were allowed to tell what they saw, more or less, although even brief or temporary events might not have told the whole story about anything!? For any of these people to continue making judgments--especially at this time--isn't appropriate, in my opinion. They could communicate with me directly, if they wish to. *** If anyone has said they wanted me to influence the gay rights project for their particular purposes, it might or might not be a realistic expectation! And especially not if they had those expectations before I was even a legal age! In other words, if anyone marketed my life with expectations for the future, I think we'd all need to examine and re-examine everything in the context of the big picture!? Have tried to be helpful and have mostly given my views, by now. But it's always easier to be destructive than to make constructive efforts; and it's not fair for some people--as above or elsewhere--to be allowed to continue making libelous comments about my life and activities! *** We'll be working on the issues!--I hope we'll continue making progress.
