You know, they're doing this all over the place, right? and it's always about "cleaning up" and it's always about getting rid of the trash. People-trash. Funny how the same groups of people are always the garbage.
I don't want to grow up either, especially if I'm going to grow into being a hypocritical asshole. damn.
But I had some conversations with David Halperin (whee!) at the conference this weekend that gave me some ideas that might be useful for talking about this, once I do some research... short version: I think the gay thinkers of the 1960s and 70s may have a lot more to say about this than I'd thought. I just have to dig up some sources.
And i think i'm going to start looking at American Studies/Civilization or History programs. I am such a geek.
I am amazed that it was possible for someone to write an article in which they appear to be addressing the socio-economic issues of a situation, yet actually end up burying them further under misleading and generally fucked up statements about other things. ???
wow. that is horrendous! i remember the first time i realized that intolerance existed within the gay community. i was completely shocked. i mean how could anyone practice the very thing you're fighting. it's amazing the rationalizing that can go on.
i'm also finding trouble understanding the word tolerance. and how it's different than acceptance...and is that difference significant.
woww. way to furthur oppression of your peoples. when i become rich &elite &just like all the racist capitalist patriarchal fucks of the world (who'd likely rape and fire me if it wouldn't tarnish their image so) i sure hope i forget the billions of other women out there who are being fucked and exploited and killed by them everyday.
Just like you
