My plan is to start this May 1, run for several days, and blog to encourage discussion. I'm keeping track of suggestions and ordering books and DVDs through the library. I don't have an end goal in mind, I want to just dive in and see what happens.

Blog against heteronormativity "...in brief, heteronormativity is a term that can be used to describe institutions, policies, and beliefs that reinforce the rigid categories of male and female." Het-er-o-norm-a-tiv-i-ty, that is quite the mouthful. I am in support of expanding beyond it. We as a society can evolve to include all manner of rich diversity of expression and identity. This is an evolution that our friends in the National Socialist Movement greatly fear. After reading and listening to their profoundly homophobic rantings for 3 months now, I have to wonder, why are they so obsessed with their image of gay men? I also wonder, does the NSM represent the worst of our collective prejudices, taken to the extreme? In other words, maybe the NSM and related hatemongers don't come from Mars, maybe they come from us. In a world where people who are thought to be not precisely straight are murdered, we have a lot of work to do.
