Mixed feelings

Guy Baldwin Keynote speech at NLA Houston

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this. There are parts that I heavily agree with...and there are parts, particularly towards the end, that I strongly disagree with. I think I'll be contemplating this for quite some time to come.

Im curious as to what you found disagreeable?

Can't speak for Jet, but I've never thought that re-ghettoization was a particularly useful approach to being a minority within an existing society. Unless, of course, that minority WANTS to render itself irrelevant.

The the last third or so of the speech rather reminds me of a child announcing that he's going to hold his breath until her turns blue. And you know how well that works out...

I found the idea of segregation and, as Brock put it, the ghettoization of kink into "straight", "gay", etc

I'm still thinking it over and watching the conflagration from a distance. Roll up your pants legs- the bullshit's getting pretty deep.
