My recording gear arrived today - so I'll soon begin podcasting! In the meantime, I spent the evening recording my essay for Beyond Masculinity, the online anthology of essays on gender and politics by queer men that I've been working on for the past two years. It'll be up very soon! In the meantime, here's a short snippet from my essay, "The Making of a Southern Faggot."
In this piece, I begin by reflecting on my work with national LGBT organizations that often strategize to put "marketable" people in front of the cameras -- and react to the sissyphobia that exists within our communities. I get a little bit rowdy! Enjoy!
