The Chronicles of a Contradictory Queer: Club Politics of the Misogynist Kind
http://embracequeer.blogspot.com/2010/08/club-politics-of-misogynist-kind.html
The Chronicles of a Contradictory Queer. Sunday, August 8, 2010. Club Politics of the Misogynist Kind. So inbetween packing up my apartment and reading for my research, I kept thinking about this man that happened to be at the club Thursday night. This man was presumably heterosexual, African American, about 5'9", and wearing one of those bro long sleeve shirts that show just about every crease of your muscles. None of the above were of any issue, but his attack on women were. He moved on to the next girl.

The Chronicles of a Contradictory Queer: The Intersections of Purity and Race
http://embracequeer.blogspot.com/2010/07/intersections-of-purity-and-race.html
The Chronicles of a Contradictory Queer. Wednesday, July 21, 2010. The Intersections of Purity and Race. Once we began discussing the video and purity in general, folks were looking at it from a one-sided perspective. One quote really rang in my head, "If they had sex they would put a black stain on their purity.". How does this tie into race? I have a hunch that part of the reason women of color, especially those occupying lower-classes, are victims of more rape and sexual abuse due to the fact that men...

The Chronicles of a Contradictory Queer: Texas--Home of the Oppressors Part 5: Immigration
http://embracequeer.blogspot.com/2010/07/texas-home-of-oppressors-part-5.html
The Chronicles of a Contradictory Queer. Wednesday, July 7, 2010. Texas- Home of the Oppressors Part 5: Immigration. This is part 5 of 6 on the Texas GOP Platform. Arizona, a state away from Texas, has passed the strictest immigration policy to date (they are actually being sued by the Federal Government because of it), and it seems as though the Texas GOP wants to follow in their footsteps. America is great BECAUSE of the differences in culture, pasts, and experiences of immigrants. Yes, immigrants ...

The Chronicles of a Contradictory Queer. Monday, July 26, 2010. Verizon- Emblem of Girl Power? So while being very productive at work and watching Bones on Hulu, this ad from Verizon came on. I've included the video below:. I'm torn on my thoughts about this advertisement. On one end, it screams for girl power, also racial equality. But the reason it's doing it, isn't to empower young women of all races, it's to get young women to buy their product. Why might that be? Peace, Love, and Real Girl Power,.

The Chronicles of a Contradictory Queer: On Nation Working Together -- For the Benefit of Whom?
http://embracequeer.blogspot.com/2010/10/on-nation-working-together-for-benefit.html
The Chronicles of a Contradictory Queer. Sunday, October 3, 2010. On Nation Working Together - For the Benefit of Whom? So I'm well aware it's been AGES. This fairy has been all over hell and back for a multitude of work, scholarly, and activism commitments. However, I'm hoping to post at least weekly about some issue or another. Why wouldn't there be an organized march to the Lincoln Memorial? The speakers spoke about unity, which was one of the goals of this rally, the reason I went. The problem? I do ...

The Chronicles of a Contradictory Queer: Being Gay and Gender-Fluid -- Don't Expect Respect

The Chronicles of a Contradictory Queer. Tuesday, July 20, 2010. Being Gay and Gender-Fluid - Don't Expect Respect. Sorry about the long lapse in blogging, I've been having 15 hour days, so extra time is dedicated to sleep. But alas, I'm here and queer, and very angry. My sexuality doesn't count? If you only wanted hetero responses you should have asked "Are you sexually active in heterosexual relations? She told me they don't include intersexual individuals in the studies. Which, HOLD THE PHONE, 1 i...

The Chronicles of a Contradictory Queer: Bullseye. Hitting the Target on Homophobia

The Chronicles of a Contradictory Queer. Saturday, August 7, 2010. Bullseye. Hitting the Target on Homophobia. I'm sure many of you are aware of Target, a major retail corporation, donated $150,000 to Tom Emmer, a politician running for Governor of Minnesota. Why is this an issue? Tom Emmer frequently spews homophobic ideals, does not support marriage for same-sex couples, and hangs out with the likes of people who think LGBTQ individuals should all be killed. Peace, Love, and Revolution,. Club Politics ...
