On the Silverfoxes Clubhouse E-mail List, we enjoy a variety of topics. One of them is Gay History, of which we are all a part. The strides we make today are the history the world will read tomorrow. Although much of our history has been and continues to be suppressed by anti-gay elements in society, a lot has filtered down to us despite the extraordinary efforts for thousands of years to rape, pillage and destroy our identity as a class of people swimming upstream against the presumptive norm.
This column is currently featuring one of my efforts in behalf of informing gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and the transgendered about our past.
It is a novella called "The Amarna Secret" and takes us back to ancient Egypt, or "Kemet" as they called it themselves. 
The modern name "Egypt" derives from "Aiguptos," a Greek corruption of an old Egyptian name for the ancient capital at Memphis. "Kemet" (k m t or KMT, vowels being non-existent in the written language and expressed orally) means "Black Land," i.e., "land of the fertile dark earth of the Nile Valley."
