Drink a Straight Bar Gay!!

Saskatoon has recently caught up to a trend that takes place in bigger cities. Crashing straight bars. The objective is to pack the chosen straight bar with the most color coordinated gays possible. Then dance. We have had two successful DASBG runs, and going for another one tonight.
I think it is important, that we hold these fun events. We are restrained with only one queer bar in this city. We don't have options for where we go on the weekend. A lot of us don't feel safe going to straight bars alone. So gathering a group like this, many of us experience bars that we never have before. It is also very important to make ourselves seen. Normally we are quietly corralled into an alley, where the queer bar is located. It's important for us to go out and be exactly who we are, to people who normally never see large groups of Queer people. We are, and always will be, surrounded by their culture and lifestyle. So for one night, we unexpectedly turn the tables on them. We out number them in one of their spaces. We show them who we are, how we dress, how we dance, and just how many of us there are. It's just to bad we can't change the bar's music for a night, eek. I have also seen positive effects within our community due to this event. Cliques within our community who don't normally socialize with each other, make effort to talk with another. People who normally don't go out on the town come to these events. All because they realize the importance of showing a large united front.
Our past two events have gone fairly well. There were no big confrontations. Just a few of the usual ignorant comments, and gaping . But for the most part the other patrons of the bar have a good time, and even join in with us on the dance floor. The staff at one bar heard about the event and even dressed in pink (our chosen color for these events) to show their support.
Cheers to another successful night of drinking a straight bar gay!!

(Un)Arrested Development

Oh thank goodness. The Arrested Development movie is finally going to be made. Now, if only I could get the Buffster back onto the screen.

Neutrality: not just for Switzerland

We all need to be concerned with how the Canadian government is working with mega corps to throttle and exploit the internet.

I first learned about queer issues online... my first lez, gay and bisexual friends were outspoken internet activists on the intraweb community chickclick.com. If I didn't have access to their conversations, discussions and debates, I wouldn't have the confidence to explore my own sexual identity. How many other people do the same thing? How many young people are only learning about sexualities online? The internet is a major lifeline for queer folks. Hellz, if I didn't have this blog, how else would I procrastinate from my research?

By handing over the the internet to corporate control, it gives them the reigns to dictate which content is appropriate. Given the obvious vaccuum of thoughtful and sincere queer characters and plot lines on tv, I am less than convinced that the hyper-controlled internet wouldn't similarly marginalize us. The internet MUST remain neutral. Full stop.

But let's be real here, neutrality does NOT equal freedom.

The internet is not free.

We have a long way to go to ensure that all peoples can use the internet. Computers, free-time, internet packages, all cost mouuuulahhhh. I just bought an iphone, but you can be sure as shit that 95% of the people I work with cannot afford the luxury. Privilege comes with responsibility, part of which is widening that privilege. So, while we work together to ensure that the internet remains neutral, we need to be simultaneously working to broaden access to the internet, so that net neutrality doesn't just re-privilege us middle-class, educated white folk.

Watch this video for a nice, quick and eloquant synopsis on net neutrality.

If I Know You-th

I have been looking for an excuse to post on one of my faaaaaaavourite albums of 2008: Apocalypso, by the Presets. They recently released a gorgeous video for "I know you"...

It begins with the fairly-typical, adolescent angst-trope: an alone and lugubrious youth wakes up, gets dressed, and prepares for the day, all with a palpable loneliness that is only intensified by his isolatingly empty suburban home. However, once he kicks out of his cookie-cutter house and into the "big city", he loses his constraining knap-sac (eventually, his shirt too) and starts dancing-- Billy Elliot style. As the music builds and layers, more dancers are added to the screen, ending with an army of young, steadfastly passionate youth dancing their way through the streets of LA.

The messages from the video are decidely melodramatic. Dissaffected youth rejecting the isolating boxcutter lifestyle of suburbia, for the organic rawness of urban life? A Cartesian fantasy celebrating the passion of dance, over a paralyzingly individualistic drone society? Perhaps!

As far as I am concerned, this video treats young people with respect. Finally. How often do we assume that kids just "don't understand", or "have yet to learn the ways of the world". The choreography is mature, complex and layered-- and the dancers are feeeeeelin' the emotions. I learned long ago that young people get it. That is, "kids" are used to enduring the raw deals of life and they certainly don't like being treated like breakable china dolls. I know people less than half my age, who have been through more shite than I can possibly imagine, and thus, constantly school me on the ways of the world.

In the tradition of Pearl Jam's "Jeremy", or Our Lady Peace's "Superman's Dead", this video is a thoughtful take on north american suburban youth without falling prey to the overwrought, emo, teen angst-y, self-congratulatory messes that litter "indie-rock" radio- and air-waves. It's magical. Me like, a lot.

Bro-mance before Ho...mance?

Caught this little gem on the Feministing Community this morning.




I don't entirely understand my fascination with Bromance. Perhaps it stems from watching (male-born, hetero and predominantly white) men who, as utterly infatuated with one-another, refuse to express their love in any way that is remotely sexual.*

WTF is up with putting a woman into the trunk of a car? This musical interlude exemplifies everything that is peculiar about male homo-social bonding. Violence, sexual curiousity, homophobia, misogyny, heterosexism, the list of academic jargonistic expressions can go on.
It's as if they want to publicly express their friendship, but in order to preempt any social mocking, they make a spectacle of themselves. If they turn the joke inwards, that is if they become self-deprecating, they are safely able to show their feelings without anyone taking it too seriously. Much in the same way that the court jester was able to criticize the king, these dudes are using a ridiculous musical platform to tell the "truth" without fearing backlash. Indeed, they may even earn extra points in the eyes of other hetero men who secretly wish that they were able to show their love for their friends.

Whenever someone says that the "male" mind is simple, I seriously want to tell them to put down their copy of "He's Just Not That Into You" and give it a little more thought. Interrogations of masculinity reveal some constraining and disciplining social norms, which are entirely unfair to those born male. For realz, how healthy is it that men reminisce about the FIGHTS they got into, and the crimes they committed together? Men--in my humble opinion-- are complicated. And thus, I will continue to be fascinated by the bromance.

*By 'love', I don't necessarily mean 'romance' or 'sex', I am referring to any point on that spectrum of relating to another

Stay Classy, Virgin radio

Virgin Radio has shoved its way onto the streets of Ottawa, and simultaneously onto the radar of some brilliant, social justice minded and pissed off people. The above adverts are part of Virgin Radio's visual marketing campaign here in my adopted city and are---quite tragically---EVERYWHERE.

I was once told that the world's best minds are in marketing. WTF, Virgin? Did your marketing budget get swallowed up by the divinely inspired mouth-shaped urinals? Clearly, someone is under the advertising tutelage of PETA.

I am fairly confidant that the goal of this campaign is to be as offensive as possible. Let's go through some of the misdemeanors:

- Trivializing violence against women
- Implicitly excusing sexual assault
- ...of minors
- Perpetuating the tired cliche that women are helpless and need to be protected
- Assuming rock music is only something men can get into
- Calling themselves the gods of rock in a pathetic attempt to revive the "glory" era of shitty 80s rock music

I am pulling the NIMBY card on this one, help me get this out of my backyard. Go here to see what can be done.

Retro Bromance

The great Gene Kelly and fabulous Fred Astaire.
As IF they were juuuust friends ;)

For those who care:

Astaire was a generation of Hollywood performers ahead of Kelly and was, unsurprisingly, one of Kelly's biggest role models. While their style definitely differed (Astaire was a little more proper, while Kelly was quite rough and visceral), they were quite fantaaaaastic together. Ahhh, definitely two of my role models.

Where's the love?

Valentine's day is fast approaching! The day of love, or for some, 24 hours of constant reminders of how excruciatingly single you are. Valentine's Day is my Christmas, I am a hopeless romantic and believe in love above all else.
I have noticed a big problem this year. I have yet to see any Queer directed Valentine cards. Apparently Hallmark doesn't have a card for everything. I saw no cards for Husband to Husband, for Son and Husband, or 'Please U-Haul with me'. I did find plenty of cards depecting straight relationships.
What are we to do?
Looks like our best bet is to order one off the internet. Not that I am suggesting getting a card for your special someone. You can do better then that! Do something really special, cheesy romance does not have to be a thing of the past. I am fighting hard to bring it back.

P.S. I still need a date for the big day ;)
I like long walks by the river, candle light, and I am a true gentleman. I'll open the car door for you and everything.

I have been out having a dance party all night.
Wait.
What I mean to say is I have been out collecting research in the field for a post :S..
I am slacking on my post. Sorry!

My Love Affair with MTL

Most people in my life know that I pretend to live in la belle ville (Montreal). Because of that, I tend to keep track of all the montreal shows that I wish I was at (take a look at my day planner and you would think I am the biggest mtl hipster everrrrr).*

Anyways, the 2008 electro-dance whirlwind Hercules Love Affair is going to be playing in montreal on Friday, February 13th at Cabaret. Go. You might see me there.

Stereotyping is bad

Hopefully that is not news to you. As queer people we have all been stereotyped before. As a flamboyant interior decorator, or a man hating construction worker. They cause people to look only as far as the stereotype in their head will allow. Which tends to be very near sighted. The person you really are is over looked. Gay stereotypes are easier for people to see, then to accept that we are ordinary, everyday people.
So if we all know that stereotyping is bad. Why are we doing it to ourselves?
It can be seemingly harmless things such as gay men thinking all lesbians preferred drink is canned beer. Or lesbians assuming gay men have a vigorous moisturising routine. But the stereotypes can get much more complicated then drink orders, or skin care. They set a ‘proper’ way for us to act, within the label stuck on us.
‘Butches’ are expected to speak, move, and express themselves in ways that are different then how ‘femmes’ are supposed to act.
As queers we should know how harmful categorising people is. However ‘untraditional’ our labels are. We are still being asked to fit into our own versions of ‘traditional’ roles.
There is no ‘proper’ way to be queer. I know when a person is young, and discovering who they are in relation to their newly found community it is easy to fall into roles. It gives them a sense of understanding, of themselves and how they fit into the community. But those roles quickly become smothering. Instead of creating a sense of who they are, the roles begin to dictate who they can’t be, and what they can’t do.
There is no reason for us to act a certain way to fit the role expected of us. And it is not acceptable for us to look at a person to act within roles we set for them.
People don’t fit into ‘butch’, ‘femme’, ‘twink’, or the many labels out there.
So lets take ourselves back to a lesson that didn’t quite sink in as a kid. Stereotypes are bad, don’t do it.


On a separate note, today is a day for history. In a country with a blemished history, today is a mark of change and hope.

Just For Fun

"A New Chance" by The Tough Alliance.

Some reviews out there have touted The Tough Alliance as the greatest thing for cheesy pop since Cindy Lauper. Honestly, while I enjoyed their 2008 album, "New Chance", I found it abrasive at times. TTA is great in small doses, on good speakers, and in a club. Otherwise, they sound a little tinny and whiny. Anyways, pretentious music reviewing aside, the album is fun, and the vids are funner.

I haven't been able to confirm that they identify as queer, but it is refreshing to see some fun synth-pop that doesn't require a hot blonde woman in tights. Bromance, livz on.

Andrea Gibson - I do

Andrea Gibson is an amazing slam poet, my favorite slam poet. Her words raise goosebumps on my arms, and tears in my eyes. Her poems are political, personal, truthful, and beautiful. I am sure in the future I will post more of her stuff, she deals with so many different issues. From the war, to gender identity, rape, and many more important subjects that need to be talked about.

This poem reminds me of how lucky I am to live in Canada with the right to marry whoever I please. But not all of us are that lucky, Americans are still fighting for that right. Here is hoping that one day we will all be able to say 'I do' to the person we love.

From the beginning living in towns
that frowned at our hand-holding
Folding their stares like hate-notes into our pockets
so we could pretend they weren’t there
You said fear is only a verb if you let it be
don’t you dare let go of my hand
That was my favourite line.

What officer, I was just tying my shoe!

This made me laugh incredibly hard. It is a clip and review (via, videogum) about the new "reality show", the "Principal's Office". The clip shows two young men who have been called into the principal's office due to their "dirty dancing" and "grinding", with female students, at the school dance.

Playing out like a freshman's version of "The Office", the two students go to towwwn leading the Steve Carell-like principal through a series of "whatifs" (ie, what if he was bending over, while I was stretching behind him?) that escalate to the point that they are literally grinding in the principal's office. The perfected innocence of these two young men are worthy of at least a couple of golden globe nods. And the principal's naivete is either the handiwork of some clever editors, or a genuine vacancy of common sense. Either makes for entertaining television.

But this is a queer blog, so I have to admit that the underlying homophobia is pretty obvious. The humour is somewhat dependent on the ridiculousness of two men "dirty dancing". And given the current history of gay students at school dances, we know that dancing with your same-sex/queer partner is often not a luxury that is afforded to many queer students.

But this actually raises interesting questions about humour, and making fun. When is it okay--if ever--to make fun of someone's sexual orientation? My queer friends and I do it all the time, but for two hetero guys to jokingly poke fun at their principal, do we allow that same flexibility? Is making fun of sexuality, like "re-claiming" offensive words?

Marmaduke, Explained

A friend introduced me to a blog wherein the wisdom of the comic "marmaduke" is explained in 500 words or less. It hasn't been updated in awhile, but it is so delightfully random, I had to share it with you all. From Joe Mathlete Explains Today's Marmaduke.

Wanted: Single Stall, gender neutral bathrooms

Too often I find myself sprinting up the walkway to my house, through my living room, and into the bathroom to pee. No, I don't have any health issues. I do, however, have issues with public washrooms. Or more accurately, people using public washrooms have issues with me.
Using a public bathroom is an absolute last resort for me. It takes mental preparation to even enter one.
When I am forced to use one, I plan each action as though it were a battle plan. I time my entrance with exact precision. I make sure not to follow anyone, or be followed in. That leads to awkward double takes between the sign on the door, and at me.
Best case scenario I enter when the bathroom is empty. Otherwise I time my entrance so that everyone present in the bathroom is locked inside a stall, so they don't see me walk in.
Getting out is just as tricky. I hide inside the stall until everyone else done washing their hands, and primping. Then with near superhuman speed I wash my hands, and exist the bathroom. But it doesn't end there, once I am out of the bathroom I need to quickly get away from the door. Staying by it tends to leads to double takes at the sign and at me, again.
I can't always be lucky enough to have an empty bathroom. At bars, or restaurants there tends to be a continuous flow in and out of the bathroom. In these situations I retreat to what is more like a 'duck and cover' tactic, then a battle plan.
I keep my eyes down when I enter the room, making sure not to look at anyone. I move quickly and quietly to the nearest stall, and wash my hands without looking up into the mirror.
My hard to categorize gender is noticed, by those in and outside the washrooms. I am stopped at the door by people telling me I am going into the wrong room. Once I get into the bathroom, I am bombarded by peoples reactions. My presence results in giggles between friends pointing me out. To women checking of the door to see if they are in the right bathroom. Sideways glances, trying to decipher why there is a boy in the girl’s bathroom. Or in some instances, confrontation. I have been physically pushed, and told I was in the wrong bathroom.

This happens to many others out there. People who don't easily fit into the ridge boxes society has for gender, and sex. Something as simple as using the bathroom should not be stressful. I shouldn't have to jokingly warn my friends that if I’m not back in five minutes, I have been beaten up in the bathroom. I shouldn’t fear that it is possible for that to happen.

Single Stall, gender neutral bathrooms need to be widely available. They are not only necessary for gender queer persons, but a bonus in general. Without the restriction to a single sex, more people can use the bathroom. Which shortens the lines in the gender specific bathrooms.

Safe2Pee is an amazing website, it is a database of "gender neutral bathrooms, unisex restrooms, accessible toilets. bathrooms for everyone." You can search for the locations of such bathrooms in your city.

Homophobes are decidedly homophobic

The Christian Anti-Defamation Commission released its 2008 top ten Christian Defamations. A couple of them are explicitly pointed towards "homosexuals", and a few of them are indirectly taking a swing at the glbt community.

Just a quick note about this article: coming in at No. 10 is "Jack Black Musical Video". For all of you whose internet has been disconnected for the past few weeks, they are referring to the devilishly clever "Prop 8, the Musical". Claiming that the musical "distorts the teachings of the Bible", the Prop 8 musical is considered an "extreme case of Christian bashing".

Of course, claiming that homosexuality is a "lifestyle" and that gay people are "sinners" is also a distortion of the bible, but hey, who is really concerned with a rigorous analysis of Christianity these days anyways?
Oh yeah, what else was wrong with the video? Jack Black played Jesus. I say, if Alanis was busy, then Jack Black is a dandy second choice.

You can take a look at their other claims of defamation... Obama isn't actually a Christian, a sports reporter takes the Lord's name in vain, you know, the usual (interestingly, nothing about using religion as a justification for the war in--and occupation of--foreign countries).

I can't wait for this year's top ten!(I am guessing that the Pope's "gay people are worse than the degradation of the rainforest" will not be topping their list).

That's so gay

Hilary Duff = 1
Girl wearing skirt for a top = 0

That's so gay. This saying has been around for years, I grew up hearing it. Recently a series of commercials dealing with this saying has been released. The video above is one of them. I think the commercials are great. They are funny, and they get the point across. Think before you speak, words have a great power to them. Use them wisely.

I personally never say "that's so gay", there are plenty of other words that can get my point across. Words that don't cut me, and an entire group of people down. But I do know people who use this saying, both queer and straight. I have asked them why they use this saying. The responses I receive fall into two categories. The first is an excuse, they have been hearing/saying it since they were young and it has become a habit. The second is indifference, it doesn't bother them. They don't believe it is a big deal, or hurtful.
With a conscious decision and a commitment to not using that saying, the habit can be broken. As for the indifference stance. "That's so gay" may not seem like a big deal. But it exists because of the accepted inequality of queer people. Using it links gay to bad, and it is vital that connection is broken. I grew up hearing this saying at school, so from a very young age I connected gay with bad. Kids are still being taught that connection when this saying is used. The battle for equality takes place everyday, and the elimination of that saying is a victory.

How do you feel about the commercials? How do you feel about the saying? Do you say it? Do you say something to people who do?

Mary Read: the Bisexual, Transgendered Pirate?

Last night, while entertaining my nightly battle with insomnia, I picked up my "Women Who Dare" 2009 engagement calendar and casually perused the content. For every week of the year, they highlight a "notable" woman (Mia Hamm, Zaida Ben-Yusuf etc). On the week of October 5th, I was introduced to Mary Read. A person who--born female—was raised as a male by her (sic!) mother, joined the military as a male, married a male Flemish solder, lived life as a female until he died, joined a band of pirates (as a male), and then may—or may not—have had an affair with the "cross-dressing" wife of the captain of the pirates. When they were all caught, she and the wife of the captain, pleaded pregnancy and thus avoided hanging.*

Umm, come again? I get that these sorts of stories are fundamentally exaggerated, sensationalized and mythesized, but even the "basics" of Mary Read's life leaves me completely agog and full of questions (and, to say the least,does nothing for my insomnia).
How much of the history of femaleness been filtered through neatly squared stories of "cross-dressing"? Did Mary Read gain notoriety throughout history because she crossed those gender thresholds, several times, and in multiple ways? Or was it because she was a kick-ass pirate who sailed the seven seas? And how many male pirate stories are framed by "who they loved", "who they married" and "who they slept with"?

* For the purposes of a concise blog post, I severely summarized the wikipedia version of her tale. My profs would kick me out of grad school if they knew.

A Softer World

A Softer World is a devastatingly truthful and witty photography comic. The online comic consists of a photograph separated into three frames, with simple type writer style text added over the photo. The comic has no on going characters or storyline. The objects or people in the given photograph become the characters. It has a very simple, yet poignant style.

The creators of A Softer World are two Canadians, both currently residing in Toronto. Emily Horne is the photographer and designer of the comic. While Joey Comeau, queer author, is responsible for the words. Together the pair comes up with something much more than a comic. It is a commentary on our culture.

Having to describe or create some sort of label to fit A Softer World is not easy.
A Softer World is unpredictable, twistedly funny, dark, haunting, controversial, weird, witty, heart touching, heart breaking, and truthful. It deals with politics, sex, boundaries, gender, death, sexuality, longing, fear and beauty.
It is about life, and everything that comes with it. Each strip is a snapshot of our world.

Often the comics have a queer character, or subject matter. Joey is able to correctly portray aspects of queer life. Holding true to the rest of the comics, the queer related ones provoke a reaction inside of us. It can be laughter, sadness, or a fiery opinion. More than likely it will be all three at once.

Are they wishing this for themselves?
Is it a parent of a queer child?
A broken hearted soul? A person who is in love with someone who doesn’t reciprocated their feelings, because of conflicting sexual orientations.

Some things aren’t a simple dichotomy. It is n ot just Boy or Girl. It is not heads or tails.

This is what I wish for on lucky pennies, and shooting stars. Only I am a bit more demanding, bikinis and heels would be a plus.

One, two, three. NOW

.....how about now?

A Softer World is not just a comic. It is art. Emily's photographs are beauty, and Joey's words are poetry.

Check it out. A Softer World
Oh! If you leave your curser over the comic, an extra hidden line pops up.

Don't forget to look at the side projects both creators have, links available on the site. Emily has a photo journal titled I blame the sea. Joey writes cover letters in Overqualified, that ring true with the comics. He also has a book, Lockpick Pornography, that is available online.

Which One's Gay?

News and current events photography blog, BAG news Notes, has a really thoughtful and honest interpretation of a recent art show by Michael Wiltbank, which asks viewers to look at two faces, and decide which one is gay.

Check it out here.

This art show raises allll sorts of questions and thoughts for me. As a person who regularly passes for straight, I often walk down the street wondering: can people tell? Do my actions reveal my sexuality? Can the people, who I want to know, tell that I am queer?

Hmm.

From Canada, with love

Canada has long been assumed to be a safe haven for queer folks. When gay marriage was legalized, we saw torrents of "marriage tourists" flood our lightly policed borders in order to take advantage of our hippy-dippy marriage laws. We even developed a niche tourism industry for gay marriages and honeymooners. But, shockingly, not everything is bouquets and garters. Jane Okojie, a bisexual woman and mother from Nigeria, is awaiting her deportation decision by the Immigrant and Refugee Board. According to xtra.ca, she has been living here for the past 5 years, working for the Canadian government while making her refugee claim. Although homosexual behaviour is punishable in Nigeria by up to 14 years in prison, the IRB still feels as though she is not at enough risk to be allowed to stay in Canada on humanitarian grounds.

I could wax and wane on the ethics behind sending a family back to a country that will inevitably leave the children without a mother, but that is pretty obvious. What we also need to talk about is the harsh reality that Canada is selective in its "toleration" of gay people—that is to say, if you are a queer woman of colour from Africa, don't assume that Canada welcomes you. We'll let you get married, have your honeymoons and your parades, but don't you dare try to move here to escape the oppressive and violent state in which you were born. Okojie was working for the Canadian government, most likely paying taxes, and contributing back to the state … but unlike the niche tourist, she didn't go back "home".

Public gay-friendly policies, like legalizing gay marriages, do wonders for our international PR. Canada benefits economically and socially from being presented as an open and tolerant nation—being ranked as one of the top three nations for human development definitely has its pluses. But they also hide the very real material and emotional consequences felt by people like Jane Okojie, who are slammed head-first into a bureaucratic machine that still operates as if it were 1959.

These policies do not mean that Canadian bureaucrats have suddenly realized their heterosexist ways. No, they allow us to wash our hands of the responsibility to deal with the homophobia that is experienced by already marginalized peoples. This is the national equivalent of that guy who demeans his little brother by calling him gay, and justifies it later by saying, "It's okay, I have gay friends". For realz Canada, that's pretty pathetic.
