I feel you my brother. As a black gay man, I understand your experiences. As a black gay man, my experiences were somewhat similar. As black gay men, we are like a courageous clique of black panthers. I truly thank you for sharing your story. MUCH LOVE AND PEACE. I LOVED the football 🏈 players!
@@lgbtqarchives That's amazing, and thanks for having such an awesome platform for people to share so many stories. I appreciate all of the effort, diverse guests, and quality.
Hey Anthony. Thanks for sharing your heartwarming story. I am affirming continued good health for you. I'd like to meet you one day. Be well in the meantime.
Loved your story! My mother was a kidney transplant recipient and, it improved her life greatly especially after being on dialysis for over 15 years. I wish you good health and continued success.
I agree 💯 percent . very well said ...God is the only one who can judge us and all others who don't walk in our shoes fall to the wasteside. U never give up the truth of who you are in search of something or someone else....We only live once so we live our best life that makes us happy or you will never be content...
As others here have already stated - what a beautiful man in both body and spirit. Just hoping the transplant goes well - he deserves the right to be healthy, happy and loved. Oh, before I forget: I just want to shrivel up and crawl into a hole out of shame because of the way his family was treated because they were black - and not allowed to vote until the mid-60's. Absolutely unforgivable..!!!!!! Sending lots of love and respect your way, Anthony. Bet on it...!!!! Blessing, this day, and always.....
I pray that your dreams come Anthony. I’m a kidney transplant recipient, and gay. I’m doing well, with some minor relationship stuff, but other than that, my live, and health is good with my new kidney. 🤓
Dear Lawrence. Good to hear from you and about your progress. Recently, I saw Anthony again, and actually he had already received a kidney. He's doing very well. ❤
Kudos Anthony!! Nice to see that determination and a bit of Fate has been instrumental in your healthy outlook. You have matured well..both physically and spiritually. So many of us become bitter and cynical as our different plateaus evolve. Your backstory was very interesting and affirming. Thanks!!
Excellent presentation. I'm 62 and day, and planning to move to CA in two years. I'm in Houston now. I think I've chosen Sacramento. San Diego & LA sound expensive.
So amazing to me that you perceived your younger self as skinny and unattractive. In both the pictures you put up, I saw a startlingly beautiful young man! Of course you were beautiful with all the muscles, too. And you’re pretty hot now, as well. A wonderful story; thank you for sharing it. May you have a kidney soon, and may you have many happy years.
That was great to listening to and watch ! I am wishing you the best with the kidney transplant! I know all will work out ! You have a great positive spirit and when you speak it’s captivating! Stay strong and sexy !! 🙏🏿🙏🏿💪🏾💪🏾

You said he was diagnosed with FCGS. That stands for Feline Chronic Gingivostomatitis and it impacts cats. I think you meant Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). That condition impacts our kidneys.
Sorry about that. That's totally possible. It's certainly a Kidney issue here. It's been a while. I can't remember if he sent me the term or I looked it up myself, but thanks for pointing it out the mistake.
I wonder if his father was sexually assaulted by hazing, which they did a lot in those days and that might have contributed to his hatred of homosexual. A lot of that hatred can come from being sexually assaulted too. Since he is masculine acting in his gayness, I wonder if he is uncomfortable around effeminate gay men? There is a big divide in the gay community about that issue.
I've heard similar experiences to Anthony's from many others who come from families with strict military backgrounds. At that time, it was shameful to be gay anyway, but probably even more so for people within that community. Just imagine to be black and gay in the 70s and 80s in a military family. Tough deal for sure!
What does this have to do with your orientation. Stop trying to make this a civil rights issue. I believe that people should have the freedom to choose their own sexuality.

Here's wishing Anthony a kidney match and speedy recovery. Beautiful man!!
Actually he received a perfect match recently and so far everything looks good.

People are people no matter skin color or sexual orientation. When people are not people is when they're ignorant and cruel.

Thank you for supporting Anthony. He’s incredible. He did receive a kidney and doing much better. ❤️
For the record black women do take no for the answer just like anyone else we don’t like it, but we accept it nonetheless
ha ha ha...that was awesome. Thank you Celeste. Of course it was a light-hearted reference from Anthony.
That was great to listening to and watch ! I am wishing you the best with the kidney transplant! I know all will work out ! You have a great positive spirit and when you speak it’s captivating! Stay strong and sexy !! 🙏🏿🙏🏿💪🏾💪🏾

Watching him do WHAT
What is your question?
Hope youre doing well Anthony ❤
He's had a surgery since and doing very well.
@@lgbtqarchives glad to hear. Thank you 😊
HOW is ANTHONY doing now - APRIL 2024 ???
He received the transplant. Doing much better.

What does this have to do with your orientation. Stop trying to make this a civil rights issue. I believe that people should have the freedom to choose their own sexuality.
Where in this video he said he believes people should not have any type of freedom at all? Stop making false accusations!
Why did you HAVE to run around with NO UNDERWEAR ON? SUPER BIZZARE!
Are you trolling?
