Trans and Queer Voices on the Question of Civilization This is a call out for submissions of work, short articles, essays, poems, artwork and the like, by trans and queer (in the broad sense of the term) authors relating to the topic of civilization. Specifically, trans and queer people face a unique swarm of challenges when confronting the fact of civilization and it’s destructiveness. I hope to compile a collection of works that face these issues head-on, forcing them into the spotlight now rather than waiting for them to be sorted out in the a...

Homophobia in Italy: Transsexual assaulted in Licata (Sicily) 
A case that is typical of the reality in which LGBTI people in Italy are currently living. It is a tragic reality, yet very often victims of abuse and violence fail to report the attacks. The politicians and media are doing nothing about these episodes of homophobia, a phenomenon that is now totally out of control....

Uganda's Anti-gay distraction is back (audio/mpeg 988.9KB) 11.02.2011 - Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Bill has long distracted the world from the human rights abuses of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, in both Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo. And, now it's back, yet again, as the country experiences a resurgence in protest against the soaring cost of basic necessities and the Museveni government's corruption in deals with Western corporations to extract Uganda's vast oil reserves. KPFA reported on 10.30.2011. Audio archive: 3 minutes....

Parker Jaques: Bisexual, Binary and Proud! 
Parker Jaques isn't the usual sort of interviewee who gets featured in a Queer publication. That's why I wanted to interview him for the cover story in the September 2011 Zenger's Newsmagazine. He doesn't have a traumatic, breast-beating coming-out story to tell. He wasn't Queer-bashed in school because his mother encouraged him to fight back if anyone tried it. He's proud of his identity not only as a Bisexual but as a gender-identified male, and he has such withering contempt for people (li...

Marching with S.A.M.E. at San Diego's Pride Parade 
A lot of progressive Queers and Queer-friendly allies have written off the annual Pride events as overly commercial, corporate and mainstream. But that's not what it felt like to me when I marched with the San Diego Alliance for Marriage Equality (S.A.M.E.) in San Diego's Pride Parade July 16. In a mixed contingent that also included members of the Bradley Manning Support Group and the International Socialist Organization, I felt like part of a movement, participating in an island of militant...

Rally Kicks Off San Diego Pride Events 
San Diego's Queer (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) Pride events kicked off Friday, July 15 at a rally on the pride festival site in Balboa Park. The featured speakers were New Age author and credentialed minister Marianne Williamson, who talked about marriage equality as a straight supporter who has performed same-sex weddings, and Daniel Hernandez, the young, openly Gay aide to Congressmember Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ) who saved her life when she was shot at an outdoor rally in January. ...

The Marriage Vow(s) The vote of the New York legislature to legally recognize same-sex marriage has produced a backlash of unexpected ferocity and scope. It comes from an Iowa-based organization called THE FAMiLY LEADER (that's the way it's printed on their logo) and it's called "The Marriage Vow." It's a far-reaching set of principles that goes beyond attacking same-sex marriage and supporting a Federal Marriage Amendment to ban it nationwide. It targets African-Americans in particular and says Black children b...

Red: "Non-Binary" Person Rejects Male/Female Gender Duality 
Red, who works at San Diego's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Community Center, identifies themselves as non-binary: that is, neither male nor female but somewhere in a "cloud" of genders that rejects the idea that there are only two human gender identities, male and female. They gave an interview for the August 2011 Zenger's Newsmagazine in which they (you refer to a non-binary person as "they," "them" or "theirs" even if you're only referencing one individual) explained these new, unfam...

New York Legalizes Gay Marriage, How About California? New York took the lead in the gay marriage movement, legalizing gay marriage on June 24, 2011, 42 years since Stonewall, about 1.5 generations later. A Republican majority New York Senate voted for it. California's legislature has passed it twice, vetoed by Republican Schwarzenegger. Will Democrat Gov Jerry Brown legalize gay marriage?...

Bisexual Forum Targets Invisibility and Bigotry 
Bisexuals, the “B” in “LGBT,” are actually the largest of the four groups represented by that unlovely acronym, but they’re also among the most misunderstood people in the Queer community. They face bitter and often ferocious prejudice and bigotry not only from homophobic straight people but from Gays and Lesbians whose anti-Bi beliefs lead them to be threatened by the existence of Bi people. The Bisexual Forum of San Diego held a workshop at the San Diego Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender ...

Attend the prot I'm hoping you will sign-on to the letter demanding the release of Edson Cosmas (see below) and attend the rally and press conference in San Francisco this Tuesday. The timeline is very tight, as Eddy is currently to be deported to Tanzania on Friday -- a virtual death sentence, given the anti-gay regime.
