And a Hearty FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING FUCK to San Francisco Pride:

[haruhiko]

"What we see here is how even many of the most liberal precincts in America are now the leading spokespeople for and loyalists to state power as a result of their loyalty to President Obama. Thus do we have the President of the San Francisco Gay Pride Parade sounding exactly like the Chairman of the Joints Chief, or Sarah Palin, or gay war-loving

My favorite part of pride is when all my straight friends ask me if I want to go.

Williams just made Pride sound like a damn mess, which does not surprise me in the slightest.

Lol there are seriously waaaaay more straights at Pride than any queer folk by like a lot. Though one of my friends was telling me that the Dyke March (which takes place one or two days before Pride) is still pretty awesome because it doesn't do ANY corporate sponsorship, is women-led and organized, and is way more about the community than straight people coming down to crash the fabulous gay party. She never goes to Pride because she hates the corporate-ness of it but she always goes to Dyke March and managed to sell me into going this year. :D

It's not even clear whether Manning is really cis, but whether this is a trans issue or a queer issue or a joint issue, I seriously am just going to throw up everywhere whenever I think about this bullshit decision. Like, cue me never wanting to take part in any corporate sponsored Pride EVER- I hadn't, to date, but more out of apathy than 100% opposition. GUESS WHAT THE REASON IS NOW.

[haruhiko]

Yeah I meant to find out more about that. What's the deal there with the whole Breanna vs. Brad thing? Last I heard they were saying he prefers to go by Bradley/he, but it sounded like it was a "for now" thing? I definitely need to get more info on that and get some clarity. But yes, whether this is a trans or queer issue, just... vomming everywhere

[doe_witch]

I haven't heard much about what Manning prefers so I've been trying to stay super neutral and just use surname and avoid pronouns in general. XD Happy May Day!!!

[haruhiko]

Sounds like a good plan. :D

Happy May Day to you too, bb! It's been ON all day here in the Bay Area!

Then again, isn't Jeremy Scahill always on topic? He's probably doing a lot of interviews these days for his new book, but I thought I'd give you a link to his Wisconsin Public Radio interview, should you want it :3

Re: OT

[haruhiko]

Gürrrrrrl should I want it! That's like going to a fish and saying "Hai fesh, here's some water SHOULD YOU WANT IT." XD XD XD

Srsly though THANK U! I'm listening to it now and enjoying his voice giving me a good earfucking. XD

I'm occasionally proud to be from Wisconsin :D

Do you also have the cute, slightly flat vowel sounds that Jeremy has with his accent? XD

I am seeing him in SF in LESS THAN A WEEK by the way. My feels, they are ginormous. *_*_*_*_*_*_*
