Hot Lezbos in Action!

Just one last point on the Prop 8 tip (for tonight), can be found here, at the Hot Lezbos In Action premier.  A beautiful creation by the (a)eromestiza project.  A favorite quote:

Boo-hoo! Here we go again.  We've all been through it a million times. I am angry at Whitey.  Whitey has victimized me. But when are we going to have the courage to deal with our own dysfunctionality?!

Just your average nice white guys...

I have no desire to use this blog like a public diary, or, more appropriately for this moment, like a world wide text service -- but I feel moved to point out in this internet cafe moment that misogyny is amazingly pervasive and apparently normalized.  "Ok," you are saying,  "Cut the jargon, bannanz, what the hell are you talking about?"  I'm talking about the incredibly homosocial tendency of misogynists -- by which I mean to say men -- to just sit around and bullshit about how much they dislike their girlfriends, how much living in a house of women "sucks," how hott some passerby is.  Why do they think this world is made for them, I wonder?  Oh, right, because it is.  That's how.  So while I sit here, silent, typing away on my computer a paper about the ways that the hetero white supremacist patriarchal art/world has typically "primitivized" people of color and women and queers to the extent that we actually do no exist, these students of hetero white supremacist patriarchy can take up all of this sound space shooting their mouths off.  I am silent, they are not.  I am quietly transferring thought into a computer and onto a page, while they project it into the world, loudly, for immediate consumption and internalization.  And of course they have succeeded!  Here I am internalizing it all!  Arrgh!

Prop 8 Blame Game.

Are you wondering about how all these liberal white gays in California are dealing with Prop 8 being passed?  Go here to read about the latent racism that these white people just can't keep from busting out when they feel threatened.

And here to get Angry Brown Butch's response to the comparative lack of response to Duanna Johnson's murder (her body was found November 10 in the street.  Earlier in the year she was the survivor of transphobic white supremacist police brutality - her subsequent trial and campaign got two cops fired and spawned Stop Police Brutality Memphis).
