“When I first realized I was gay,” Austin interjected, “I just assumed I would hide it and be miserable for the rest of my life. But then I said, ‘O.K., wait, I don’t want to hide this and be miserable my whole life ( Read more... )

Pour ceux que ça intéresse, dans Le Monde daté de demain (samedi 28 juin, jour de la Marche des Fiertés), il y a toute une page dédiée à la lutte contre l'homophobie avec en illustration le MAG et ses interventions en milieu scolaire.

Am in the middle of my third paper and it's frustrating me greatly because it's about water privatization and environmental issues are paramount to me - much more fundamentally important than issues of gender and sexuality, no matter how much I love, and how much more versed I am, in these two.

It was fairly straight-forward and easy to write and dude! I wish all of my in-class papers ( Read more... )

I ended up never saying a word about the presentation on gender and work I did with littlegothsin last week for our UK Civilization class. It went really well, and people asked questions afterwards.
