  • (Dis)Ability Borderlands, Embodied Rhetorical Agency, and Adhd Methods of Madness
    ABSTRACT (DIS)ABILITY BORDERLANDS, EMBODIED RHETORICAL AGENCY, AND ADHD METHODS OF MADNESS by Kaydra Nicole Bui In this thesis, I advocate for access and rhetorical agency for academics with in/visible (dis)abilities. This is also to say that my work is self-advocacy as I negotiate my positionality within academic ableism as a marginalized person with (dis)abilities. I take an intersectional and interdependent approach to (dis)ability justice and embodied rhetorics, dialoguing with borderland theory, critical race theory, feminist, and decolonial scholarship. Ultimately, I hope to model an ADHD/neuroqueer form of writing that allows me to discover the rhetorical strengths I and other neuroqueer writers have to offer while reimagining access in discursive sites of power such as the composition classroom, (dis)ability disclosure, and Student Disability Services.

  • The Moments That Shaped Cincinnati's Lgbtq History
    THE MOMENTS THAT SHAPED CINCINNATI’S LGBTQ HISTORY Kaileigh Peyton - June 3, 2020 The Gay Pride March in April 1973 at Fountain Square. PHOTOGRAPH COURTESY OF THE COLLECTION OF THE PUBLIC LIBRARY OF CINCINNATI AND HAMILTON COUNTY rom April 6, 1973, to June 21, 2019, these events transformed Cincinnati from the “most anti-gay” city in the country to a beacon of progress. Together, they shape the city’s LGBTQ F history. April 6–8, 1973 Nearly four years after New York’s pivotal Stonewall Inn riots, the activist-founded Cincinnati Gay Community (CGC) organizes the city’s first public Pride celebration, highlighted by a modest crowd marching from Washington Park to Fountain Square. June 22, 1978 Mayor Jerry Springer signs a proclamation officially recognizing Lesbian/Gay Pride Day in Cincinnati. Mayor Bobbie Sterne made the same proclamation a year later, despite criticism. 1983 The Dock opens on Pete Rose Way below the Brent Spence Bridge. Cincinnati’s longest continuously operating LGBTQ bar closed in 2018 to make way for infrastructure upgrades. April 7, 1990 Subversive photographer Robert Mapplethorpe’s posthumous retrospective debuts at the CAC to protests from conservative groups and grand jury indictments for the CAC and its director, Dennis 675 Shares Barrie, on misdemeanor obscenity charges.

We are going to start off with where you are from originally? R.O. Okay, I was born in Omar, West Virginia. I was born in a coal mining camp. I was born at home. I too am a coal miners daughter, just not the famous one! S.M. So, how long did you live there? R.O. Well, I don’t know for sure, we moved outside of Ashland, Kentucky. Probably shortly after the time when I was six to eight months old. My mom and dad followed my grandfather, her father. I guess he got the job up there in the mines. And then he got another job in Ashland, and my dad and mom followed him to the Ashland area. D.E. Alright, next question we are going to ask you is; How do you self-identify, in the terms of your sexual orientation? R.O. Lesbian. D.E. Okay. S.M. If then, you would describe your first romantic relationship? R.O. Okay, um, that would have been when I was in college, and this women keep coming up to me, I was working the desk in the dorm and she kept coming up to me when I was working and she wasn’t someone at that time who that I thought looked gay, but I don’t know what that really meant.

  • Lighthouse Youth Services Article
    Hi everyone, just a quick note to let you know that the PRIDE ERG had the opportunity to personally visit Lighthouse Youth and Family Services, Safe and Supported program to meet with their staff and drop off the donations from our first fundraising event.. We specifically chose Lighthouse because the stark reality is that Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Questioning (LGBTQ) youth are dramatically over-represented in the homeless youth population. Our hope is to make a positive impact on the lives of youth in crisis through gift bags with personal care items such as Shampoo/Conditioner, Combs, Socks, Toothbrush, Toothpaste, Nail files, Razors, Kleenex, Deodorant, Washcloths, and Ziplocs(to put it all in). Lighthouse is an amazing organization who created Safe and Supported as a result of Hamilton County being chosen as one of two communities in the nation to lead the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s first-of-its-kind LGBTQ Youth Homelessness Prevention Initiative. We look forward to continuing our support of this initiative and giving back to our community. Thank you to everyone who participated, you are making a difference. If you or someone you know would like to become a member, visit our PRIDE SharePoint site and click “Join this community”.
