Dear Queer Union, Thank you for organizing the Queer Cabaret. I am very happy that everyone from our LGBT community got the opportunity to see and be seen. I am even more grateful that this was met with so much enthusiasm at Macalester, bearing in mind that other colleges in this country would have been less welcoming to an event like this, and other places in the world less tolerating.

We are also in the military and manage to have sex lives, but don't tell anyone, okay? From where I stand, it appears that we service straight people daily in more ways than one.  

"q@" writes: "On September 24th some of the most militant politicized street protests the States have seen in nearly a decade countered the G20 summit in Pittsburgh. Anarchist Queers and Trannies were on the frontlines of this struggle; bringing the numbers, the flare, and the wrecking crews. A days worth of tear gas, rubber bullet attacks, and fending off straight-idiot-liberals, set the tone for what would be a night of ravenous Queer...

By Marke B. Fight the power, Anna Conda! Farewell, sweet punk 'n drag apocalypse! Just in time for 2012, beloved five-year-old Friday weekly queer meltdown Charlie Horse at the Cinch has released its gin-soaked core neutrinos and called it quits. Charlie Horse hostess, deconstructed Courtney Love, and Guardian cover girl Anna Conda blames the influx of yuppie condo-dwellers and an increasingly anti-gay agenda overtaking the once queerific...

The piece that I am linking to in this post was produced in the context of queer spaces in Vancouver and talks about specific things that have happened there. I'm posting it because some folks in Sudbury are circulating it in response to a recent instance in a queer space here of a white person coming to a Hallowe'en party dressed in Blackface and then a bunch of other white people being silent about it and/or actively defending it after the...

In the Orientalized fantasies about the Palestinian gay man (the cute boy with the almond ass) and the Arab woman (always behind the burka) the two images are present at the same time. Oriental sexuality is both repressed (making queer desires impossible) and inherently passionate.
