Man of Steel
What made you sponsor The Man of Steel contest?
First off, I enjoy meeting
people and making new acquaintances. Getting to know people and
learning about their walk in life is so interesting to me. Secondly,
I am hoping through sponsoring the Man of Steel competition I will
accomplish a few things; allow people to learn more about Aaron
Steel, LLC diaries online and the new upcoming book soon to be
released, 'New Ranch Hand'. I would like to see through this
sponsorship an added boost to our own gay community in competitions
and a healthy rivalry among friends. Lastly, but none the of the
least; I trust this will give Club Deception, our host and provider
of a great atmosphere and exposure to new faces and business.
Do you think this contest will add to the
circulation of your website by adding readers?
That is most definitely a goal;
although we have seen well into the thousands of hits on the Aaron
Steel website just in a single day. We have tripled our bandwidth in
order to avoid any one from having trouble accessing the site,
(unlike the well known healthcare website we all know and love).
What can you tell the readers about this contest?
This is going to be a unique
contest and first in its time! It's all because of the title, the
awards, and the sweet little Aaron Steel Goodie Bags®
that will be given away to our guests just to say "Thank
you" for spending the evening with us. The winner of the Man of
Steel will not be just the winner, but he will also carry the title
of Aaron Steel, LLC, which is gradually working it's way up to big
and gay things! Most and foremost, we want everyone to enjoy
themselves and have a great weekend on Saturday, January 25th at Club
Deception.
Are there any future plans for contests?
Absolutely! The 2015 Aaron
Steel 'Man of Steel' contest is practically planned and ready to go.
There will be bigger awards and a little more "secret spice"
in the mix. As they say, the first run, (Man of Steel 2014 in this
case) leans a little on the learning curve, but bigger and better
things are just around the corner. I encourage our readers, friends,
and guests to make every effort in coming out so they can say they
were at the very first and original.
For those who may not know what can you tell us
about your website?
The Aaron Steel website came
online in October 2011. Readers can find great reading, informative
articles and a source of other great information. We have recently
developed a 'Quickie' series for those readers that just can't keep
their hands off themselves while reading. It allows them to get to
the "punch line" much sooner. There are also two new series
soon to premiere on the Aaron Steel site for readers to enjoy before
they roll out to the editors. One thing that folks might be
interested in knowing; Aaron Steel posts the manuscripts chapter by
chapter as they are developed. Most writers hide their work until
it's published.
What can you tell the readers about Aaron Steel?
Aaron
Steel, LLC was created from nothing but a simple, one paragraph love
letter written to a lover and boyfriend. This letter consisted of a
fantasy he wrote to describe his love and attraction to the
boyfriend. The letter was sadly rejected and scoffed at and from
there it was tucked away in a journal for the next two and a half
years. The letter was accidentally uncovered, reworked and for the
next six years, written and developed into the title that it is
today, "New Ranch Hand". This same series is also being
considered by the TLA Releasing group as a potential teleplay.
What are your opinions about the progress of
marriage equality?
There are hundreds of hotwire topics out there today;
some stronger in debate than others. Regardless of whether they're
relevant to the gay or heterosexuals communities, they affect us all
as a human family. The word marriage has been around since 1250 -
1300 CE. Ever since its Latin form and practice, it has always meant
the same thing: the legal and civil recognition of two people in a
union, permitted to care and provide for each other within the
parameters of the law. The lesser of marriage is basically a
relationship. These great "wars" in our time are never
good, They keep the human race at odds and so distracted from other
things that are and can be much more significant. However, to me,
marriage is and can be a wonderful action between two people who love
each other. It is a way to express that they have went above and
beyond just words, but taken action to declare their love to each
other. Yes, you can do that without the legal actions and expense of
applying for a marriage license, but is means so much more. The
slaves didn't see their freedom come to birth over night. Many
Africans wrote songs about their captivity. For years they struggled
to stay alive in order to see freedom in their generation. The women
in our society struggled for their rights and freedoms while the men
in higher courts fought to oppose it. The debate and opposition of
gay marriage is like any other growing pain in the world. Opposing
forces and opinions come and go, some continue to push back for
centuries while others conform to change. Life is about change and
development. It's about learning different ideals and concepts. Soon
gay marriage will be remembered as the time of any other great
debate, only to be reflected in the pages of history. The "Victor"
is he who keeps believing and marching into the fierce winds of
difference.
