  • Queer Theorists and Gay Journalists Wrestle Over
    PLEASURE PRIPRINCIPLES BY CALEB CRAIN QUEER THEORISTS AND GAY JOURNALISTS WRESTLE OVER THE POLITICS OF SEX 26 PLEASURE PRINCIPLES PLEASURE PRIPRINCIPLES Nearly two hundred men and women have come to sit in the sweaty ground-floor assembly hall of New York City’s Lesbian and Gay Community Services Cen- ter. They’ve tucked their gym bags under their folding chairs, and, despite the thick late-June heat, they’re fully alert.

A video camera focuses on the podium, where activist Gregg Gonsalves and Columbia University law professor Kendall Thomas welcome the audience to a teach-in sponsored by the new organization Sex Panic. It might have been the Sex Panic flyer reading DANGER! ASSAULT! TURDZ! that drew this crowd. Handed out in New York City’s gay bars and coffee shops, the flyer identified continuing HIV transmission as the danger. It pointed to the recent closing of gay and transgender bars and an increase in arrests for public lewdness as the assault. And it named gay writers Andrew Sullivan, Michelangelo Signorile, Larry Kramer, and Gabriel Rotello as the Turdz.

  • Chenjerai-Kumanyika-Review.Pdf
    The Transom Review Volume 15/Issue 2 Chenjerai Kumanika March 2015 (Edited by Sydney Lewis) Chenjerai Kumanyika The Transom Review – Vol.15/ Issue 2 Intro from Jay Allison Chenjerai took our Transom Traveling Workshop on Catalina and suddenly had to reckon with his own voice, his own identity, in the role of a public radio reporter. In his manifesto, Chenjerai confronts this question of how we sound, how we want ourselves to sound, and what’s permitted. I remember Tavis Smiley once saying, “Public radio wants me to be black, but not TOO black.” Chenjerai tackles that issue straight on — reading copy in various versions of his “self”— and examining the sound of public media, on the air and in the podcast world. These are key questions for public radio and it’s good to have them right out on the table. Vocal Color In Public Radio This summer during the Transom Catalina workshop, I produced my first public radio piece. While writing my script, I was suddenly gripped with a deep fear about my ability to narrate my piece. As I read the script back to myself while editing, I realized that as I was speaking aloud I was also imagining someone else’s voice saying my piece. The voice I was hearing and gradually beginning to imitate was something in between the voice of Roman Mars and Sarah Koenig. Those two very different voices have many complex and wonderful qualities. They also sound like white people. My natural voice –– the voice that I most use when I am most comfortable –– doesn’t sound like that.

You made your bed. Now lie in it.' I. INTRODUCTION "Outing" is the forced exposure of a person's same-sex orientation. While techniques used to achieve this end vary,2 the most visible examples of outing are employed by gay activists in publications such as The Advocate or OutWeek,4 where ostensibly, names are published to advance a rights agenda. Outing is not, however, confined to fringe media. The mainstream press has joined the fray, immortalizing in print "the love[r] that dare[s] not speak its name."' The rules of outing have changed since its national emergence in the early 1990s. As recently as March of 1995, the media forced a relatively unknown person from the closet.6 The polemic engendered by outing * Associate Professor of Law, University of Oklahoma College of Law.

INTRODUCTION 2020 In Service to the Community in a Year Like No Other 2020 was a year unlike any other, requiring all of us to recalibrate. The COVID-19 lockdown prompted a rapid pivot across all of GBH’s programs, events and services in order to continue to provide engaging and inspiring resources for our community.
