Gays against Gaga

Because some of us queers can see through the marketing machine,
Because some of us aspire to create our own culture, not just settle for being a target market,
Because we refuse to be pawns for companies like Target that funnel our dollars towards anti-gay extremists
Because we stand in solidarity against racial and economic injustice,
This blog collects dissenting voices.

"From about the time I was 13 until I graduated high school, I had bullies. Those bullies have since grown up to become contributing members of society in respectable professions. I frequently find myself wondering what I might say to them, if anything, were I to see them now. Would I simply backhand them and retort, “Ugh, now I’ve got slime on my hands!” and sashay away? I’ve at least had the privilege in the ensuing 15 years to evolve, get stronger, become intelligent, and lead a rich, wonderful life. This chance to grow up and evolve is something I found myself suddenly thankful for when I heard about the shooting of Mollie Olgin and Mary Kristene Chapa."

For The Rumpus, I wrote about getting bullied as I grew up, the shootings of Mollie Olgin and Mary Kristene Chapa, and an increasingly ineffective LGBTQ culture/media circuit.

People should pay attention to this Ronin dude.  Seems like he gets it.

    Read Rohin’s pummeling essay at the Rumpus. Not a suggestion.

    Really important piece. Rohin always has the best critiques of the queer community from within.
