My Darling Morris,
Just a note which I feel I must write or should I say type to you. I was very very disappointed to find out that you were not coming to the Club to-night, as ever since I phoned you on Monday and made arrangements, I just lived for to-night when I was to have seen you darling, as a matter of fact I stayed in bed all day yesterday, didn’t even get up to eat and just thought of you, and counting the hours until I should see you, and then the terrible shock, of not being with you after all, I had a terrible feeling that I should be disappointed so that is the reason I telephoned.
I always feel so embarrassed when we meet as the terrible thought of your trouble keeps ringing in my ears, and I hate myself and cried for hours when I lay and thought it all, especially when I love you, Morris darling, honestly I do, it is two years almost since we first met, then I was crazy about you, but you just seemed to disappear and I never saw you for months and I tried to forget, and now since seeing you, it has all started again, and I just had to let you know how I felt, please do not think I am foolish Morris but I Love You such a lot, so please if you do not feel this way to me, promise that we shall always be the best of friends, I know it is very difficult to think the same of me since what happened, even altho’ I told you what the Doctor said, however I hope you will forgive and forget.
Well Morris darling I must ring off now and pray that I may see you on Saturday.
I only wish that I was going away with you, just you and I to eat sleep and make love together, perhaps when you are away you will think of me sometimes and even write me, I, sincerely hope so.
Well Morris darling until we meet,
I am Yours with all my love for ever and always,
-1930

Live down the street from the building - I know of the great work does. So I was very surprised to see the egging of its large red doors as I returned from last minute Xmas shopping . This is what I saw on the buildings doorstep.

Iranti-Org formed in 2012 to help local and regional le***an, trans, intersex and gender non-conforming (LTIGNC) movements in South Africa and across the continent use media as a platform for mobilization and shifting public dialogue.

Let’s keep safe spaces safe

Dear Qu**rs, Friends, Family, Allies and Strangers

If you permit, we would like to steal a moment of your time to share with you a concept about  Archiving Q***r Love🌈

Arhiving Q***r Love is a project created by an Independent Collective of Q***r Artists from Africa & the World that have decided to embark on a journey to solidify the presence, importance & magic of Q***r Love. We have collectively brought our years of experience in various arts & culture sectors, our indiividual skill sets & our shared approach to 'gorilla style' project ex*****on to bring this idea to life. Support the Project by checking out the link below
