I love how the definition of queer expands and expands here, and I love how you suggest, very subtly, that there are some kinds of outsiderhood that we think of as hard but we are actually really comfortable with. And that there are some kinds of pain that are impossible to face, but which we know and feel compelled to bear witness to anyway. Alcoholism is the snake twined tightly through and around our queer communities, and we are ashamed when we recognize it as an old friend among us, even in strange contexts. How queer are we? What hope and change can our solidarity bring to a larger world? Just beautiful.Sfrajetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18028612571210445296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28553339.post-1150864004385793322006-06-20T21:26:00.000-07:002006-06-20T21:26:00.000-07:00This is a powerful and beautiful entry.
