This fall I will join the teaching team with the HIV/AIDS Course at Concordia University for the second consecutive year. This course, along with the accompanying Lecture Series and Art Exhibition, have been around for two decades or so and together comprise a really exciting and innovative project I couldn’t be more happy to be a part of.
Karma Chavez, Yasmin Nair, and I published an article together for Fifth Estate Magazine. In the article we take a critical look at the imagery and rhetoric surrounding the recent repeal of DADT. We mainly focus on the ways in which sexual violence is embedded within military culture both at home and abroad, and how we as queers might not want to invest our energy in seeking inclusion in such a sexually violent form of citizenship and national belonging.
I will be appearing at the New Museum in New York City on June 21st for the Against Equality: Don’t Ask to Fight Their Wars book launch which is taking place as part of Carlos Motta‘s Museum as Hub Thursday Night Programs. This will be the first American book launch (we already did Canada and Australia!) for the newer of the two A.E. anthologies and recordings of the event will be made
available in the near future.
Disastrous Inclusion: Critical Reflections on the Legacy of DADT, the 2nd issue of the We Who Feel Differently journal, launched online this past May and will also be part of the dialog at the New Museum book launch event on the 21st of June. You can check out the Journal for free online or download a pdf of it here.

I am currently in the middle of editing the third and final book in the A.E. pocket-book anthology series titled, Against Equality: Prisons Will Not Protect You. This book critiques the demands by gay and lesbian organizations seeking LGBT inclusion in hate crimes laws and looks more broadly at the prison industrial complex as a site of harm and violence that disproportionately affects queer, trans, and gender non-conforming people. Chris E. Vargas will be designing a fabulous cover for us once again and Dean Spade will lend his voice to do the book’s introduction.
A.E. put out a new series of postcards from our 2nd call for art including one that I designed. The postcard was based on a poster I designed and printed in collaboration with Reyrey Castonguay for a workshop at the National Conference on Organized Resistance many years ago. This postcard, along with the other great additions to the A.E. archives, are available for a few bucks through the online store on the A.E. webite.
Lastly, A.E. will host a panel this fall at Radically Gay: The Life & Visionary Legacy of Harry Hay, a conference hosted by the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies at CUNY from September 27th – 30th, 2012. Our panel is titled “Eat Your Fetish!: Against Equality and the Politics of Queer Cultural Production and Appropriation” and features presentations from Karma Chavez, Yasmin Nair, and myself. We are sure to ruffle at least a few tail feathers…
