- We thought she was god…
- Stonewall wasn’t just about riots and liberation… It was also about love and ebullience.
- In times like these, look to the past for wisdom and inspiration…
- Apropos of everything…
- When you're anywhere but here, there's always somewhere else to be. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- For some, the problem is not just that we're Queer. It's that we're both Queer and proud. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- Dear straight allies, we need to see the substance of your love. Beyond mere sentiment and hacktivism, what are you actually going to risk, and how are you willing to be inconvenienced, in the name of our mutual liberation? www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- In a society without recourse, where will we Queer people turn for compensation, dispute resolution, and grievance? The legal protections and remedies some of us have recently enjoyed might crumble, but we will always have each other. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- My lovely Queerlings, we must know when to rest and replenish, for there are so many battles ahead... www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- The course of the human heart never did run straight. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- Under the auspices of this incoming U.S. federal government, how long will it take us to establish new social rules and norms about who is and is not the "right" kind of Queer person? And just how will each of us benefit from this transaction? www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- It's time to move beyond despair and operationalize your outrage. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- Bigotry is not "just an opinion" anymore than arsenic is just a flavor... www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- There are no happy endings, because there are no endings -- just an infinite continuity of energy sprawling into a timeless expanse. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide
- New Episode! “Creative Collaboration with Maddox and Dwight”: tinyurl.com/ym4uuz2v Maddox and Dwight join me on “Not Going Quietly” for a chat about the power of being in community with people in person, how to rebuild our relational muscles, the benefits of collaboration, and much more!
- Queer people aren't done with politics, because politics is never done with us. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- Apropos of everything… <photo depicts Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson carrying a banner for STAR (Street Transvestites Action Revolutionaries), the group they co-founded. New York's Greenwich Avenue, December 20, 1970.> #gaymansguide #gay #queer #trans
- My lovely Queerlings, if you want to know how a government will treat us, just watch how it treats people who are not citizens. Because that's what it'll do to everyone, given the opportunity. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- In the times that come, we'll have to make our own love. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- Roost atop this realm of impermanence and find gentle amusement in its vicissitudes. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- Queer people have been serving this country since its beginning. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- Let our Queer love well and even overflow, in spite of any demographic panic straight society might stoke. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- In the U.S. white reconciliation across the spectra of (cis) gender, generation, and class, has come at the expense of many civil rights. So celebrate the spirit of giving thanks, but spare us the myths of Pilgrims and our pluralistic citizenry. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- Be insufferable about your Queer public displays of affection. Make it awkward and force everyone to reckon with their biases. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- We absorb the world all at once, in each moment, with all our senses, as part of a single symphony. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide
- Too many straight cis Americans take their illusions straight, no chaser, when what they really need is to wake up to Queer magic. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- Now more than ever, it's important to understand what governments can and cannot take away from us. And they can never take away the love in our hearts. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- It's impossible to appease gender segregationists into generative conversations of equality. We must bravely confront them on principle. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- Most people choose to believe whatever suits them. I choose to believe in the power and potency of Queer love to heal this crazy, mixed-up world. Just try and convince me otherwise. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- "Karma" is not the same as "poetic justice." It is not some cosmic retribution. Karma simply means that the sum of our experiences grants us everything we need right now to deepen our hearts and love more fully. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- Who are you kidding? Being bystanders to oppression simply won't be enough, either to save you or to boost your clout. Nor is this the age of discretion or secretive allyship. We're either all in this together, or we aren't in it at all. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- Queer joy is the most potent tonic to fascism, when it's grounded in the present realities required to work its wonders. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
- Not all of us will be able to hide, or would even want to. www.britteast.com/books #gaymansguide #gay #queer
