This wonderful story on the social construction of gender is a MUST-READ for everyone. A Fabulous Child’s Story by Lois Gould Once upon a time, a baby named X was born.

In the future, you too can be a beautiful man-elf.
Mangas and animes, with their various examples of gender-bending friendliness (and awful stereotypes), can sometimes be your best resort in a book or dvd store. You know, one of those days when you’d like a romantic comedy, and it’d be kinda nice if the story was about (in my case) two girls and their happy [...]

Of Penal Code 377, Lesbian Sex and Patriarchy
There are countless ironies in life. The fact that our religious institutions are more concerned with persecuting lovers than haters, for example. Or the fact that as a society, we are more comfortable with the idea of men holding guns than holding hands. To the list, I want to add: the fact that our society’s patriarchal, [...]

Harian Metro strikes again!
Posted on 13 August 2009
I guess being labeled "sesat", "songsang", and "maksiat" is what we queers have to get used to in Malaysia. Really, it's not as bad as arbitrary arrests, unexplained deaths, and authoritarian rule. Besides, it's only little miss Sarah Zukifli who thinks so - I bet many of us are laughing (and cringing) at her desperate claim to "religion + conservative values + eastern tradition" axis of power used so frequently to otherize those just different from Sarah Zukifli.

Poetics from Youtube
Posted on 05 August 2009
I don’t know about you, but Youtube is a wonderful source of procrastination for me. Each time I can’t get work done, I head there and preload videos as an incentive to meet (or miss) my deadlines. Lately, I’ve been on a binge of poetry videos, and I thought I’d mix some up here to share [...] Continue Reading

Commentary: Gay is not the new black
Posted on 03 August 2009
Bars such as The Prop House, or Bulldogs in Atlanta, Georgia, exist because a large number of gay blacks -- particularly those who date other blacks, and live in the black community -- do not feel a part of the larger gay movement. There are Gay Pride celebrations, and then there are Black Gay Prides. Continue Reading
