Winter Updates

I’ve been settling in quite nicely here in Montreal where I’ve started contributing to the city’s fiercest fagrag, 2B Magazine.  I’ve contributed book and film reviews, interviews with other queer artists/activists, and even had my nearly naked body featured is series of photographs of emerging artists, activists, and writers.  Thanks to the sweet folks at 2B Mag and photographer César Ochoa, a 16″ x 20″ print of my portrait (see cropped head shot for a PG version) was auctioned off to support Against Equality!

Late this past summer I finally had my silence = death chest tattoo completed after four years of designing and reflection thanks to my friend and tattoo artist Gemma Borealis.  More detailed images and information about the work is available on the projects section of this website.

My newest experimental short video titled things are different now… is complete!  By collaging archival footage from ACT UP’s political funerals with super 8 portrait images of twenty of my peers, I try to imagine what it would feel like to lose all of them in a few years time to AIDS.  This video will premiere in Montreal sometime soon, stay tuned!

Against Equality‘s second archival anthology, Against Equality: Don’t Ask to Fight Their Wars, is now available from AK Press and they have been flying off the selves!  I edited this book which features an introduction by the one and only Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore and contributions from radical anti-war voices critical the gay and lesbian mainstream’s investment in militarism and overturning DADT.  This book, like our last one  Against Equality: Queer Critiques of Gay Marriage, is also available at no cost to gay, queer and trans prisoners.

I am gearing up for an early February conference in Melbourne Australia honoring Dennis Altman titled, After Homosexual: the Legacy of Gay Liberation.  At this conference I will give a paper about the work and politics of Against Equality and how we, as a radical queer and trans community, might imagine what global solidarity might look like that doesn’t perpetuate the centrality of gay marriage as the primary goal of queer/trans activism.

Lastly, I will be guest editing the 2nd edition of the online journal launched by Carlos Motta as part of the We Who Feel Differently project.  This edition will focus critically on the fervor to undo Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell and reflections on its aftermath.  Due out this Spring, it will be a good antidote to what is likely to be one of the most heinously uncritical forthcoming issues of the Journal of Homosexuality focused on DADT.
