Sexuality as Nationalism
Its been over a week now since Prop 8 was overturned. I have been rather silent on the iRobyn site. I have my doubts with the institution of marriage (in fact, I have for several years) and the messy history it brings to fore. On the one hand, this is incredible news. Same-sex marriage or, [...]
It’s all about love and imagining new possibilities!
Remembering November 2008. I was in chicago when I heard this “special comment.” I am critical of marriage and its historical practice of oppressing women and privileging hetero-patriarchy.

I find most Pride fests to be oriented toward male identified persons and the discourse of the politics of equality overshadowing the GAYS. So, the following is my reflection on attending [...]
BP Deepwater Oil Spill/Tragedy, er fuck up!
I have been silent about the BP Oil Tragedy (or shall I say fuck-up) on my blog. I have walked around for almost a month thinking about what I might say, or if I could say anything. Having read numerous articles, listened to repeated stories on NPR concerning the Deepwater Oil Spill, and caught news [...]

Dear Natalie, Should you ever google yourself and this post pops up, I do hope you read it! But, I recognize that you may never ever read this, and that is ok. Others who are fans of you and your politics might very well be interested in my reflection. Whatever the case, I hope this [...]
Being Brown in Arizona
The good pastor went to the Immigration march in Arizona this past weekend. These are some of the photos that impressed me. I thought I’d share them here, too, as a way to get the message out, that racism in any form is NOT ok. Here’s another one: and yet another, which might be my [...]
