Wow, you are not alone in disliking this commercial. Not only does it play into the rhetoric of marriage being all about love (which it is sooooo not) and necessary for "protection" I also found it terribly cheesy, boring, and too much like a really…
Wow, that is disgusting, and I hope those ads are effectvely countered. I recgnized the clip from when the little girl enters, b/c a still of it was used as the picture for the FB group of people countering the addition of gender identity to the Gai…
Not to mention these false dichotimies that somehow suggest going after racist depictions at every level ("artist", media corp., ad agencies etc) sound like garbage to me. Critiquing Ho and going after her racist behind is hardly distracting from ot…
Then you're in the camp with people who say there are bigger problems. I believe that racism is a huge problem and we need to call it out when we see it. I'm not saying go around actively looking for comedians like Ho and Liqour, but if they are com…
Well, first of all I didn't say comedians are nothing to worry about. Almost everything in this screwed up society is worrisome. As a strong believer in expending emotional energy on some things rather than others, I stand by the opinion that compar…

Profile Information
- Who are you? (Creative answers encouraged!)
- I am a forever questioning QPOC. I tend to be really quiet and extremely, extremely sarcastic. As a matter of fact I tend to be sarcastic more often than serious. This poses two problems:
1. Coming across in print, hard to do.
2. I am very monotone and non-expressive when it comes to showing emotions and changing face/body expressions so most peple have no idea of when I am joking and/or being sarcastic. Which can actualy be amusing in and of it self. (Once someone asked me if I ever smiled, to which I replied "On occasion" and he took it at face value though it was suppose to be a joke).
I also tend to do or say things which a lot of people find unsuspected coming from me. I am very random and can come across as stand offish and very, very weird/odd for lack of better words. I actually enjoy closeness though and love,love,love hugs. I have a very complicated love affair with the United States Marine Corps.
- Activism & Interests?
- I am very passionate about the issues I hold dear to me, though sometimes become disinheartened with "liberal" politics that hold up people like Bill Clinton as champions and are really nothing more than conservatism-lite. I am also sometimes disenchante with what I see as the ineffectiveness of some on the left (especially pretentious protest-culture types).
I am just trying to find a way to make a difference that incorporates radicalprinciples and self-empowerment of disadvantaged communities. As well as self-reliance and community responsibility.

Why I don't trust a (Wendy) Ho
White people laughing at a depiction of black women created and maintained for the benefit of white people.
I think her ise of the word ho is as about empowering as the word's usage in the song paraphrased above.
I originally went for this to be a reply to another post, but it got a bit long. I get sick of people saying that comedians are nothing to worry about or that there are bigger problems. Seiously? If anything comedians make people able to shrug off their racism, often along the lines of… Continue

What's Funnier than making fun of Domestic Violence in Same-Sex Relationships?
Throwing in a joke about intimate partner violence in hetero relationships, or at least Kidd Kraddick, of Kid Kraddick in the Morning, thought so as of my listening this morning.
Apparently Lindsay has gotten back with Sam and are now engaged (from listening to the show). Kraddick then goes on to make allegations that there is intimate partner violence in the relationship and that one of them beats the other like Chris Brown at a Rihannia pinata party. Friggin hilarious, right? He then goes on t… Continue

Larry Kramer's Case Against "Queer"
http://www.advocate.com/exclusive_detail_ektid81256.asp
I have issues with a lot of what I read in The Advocate. Especially when it comes to the comments sections and editorials. Let's just say I have a feeling their are quite a lot of people who write/comment that view the NGLTF as too liberal (http://www.advocate.com/exclusive_detail_ektid52010.asp) for *double gasp* recognizing marriage is not the end all be all and realizing people identify as more than LGBTQ (of color, poor, immigrant,etc… Continue
