This Is So Gay: In the Beginning Was the Word

http://thisislikesogay.blogspot.com/2015/07/in-beginning-was-word.html

This Is So Gay. Clap Your Hands If You Believe in Fairies! Tuesday, July 21, 2015. In the Beginning Was the Word. Just a few weeks ago, Caitlyn Jenner's "I am a woman" pull quote was all over the media, and none of the anti-label people got on her case for labeling herself: indeed, they celebrated and defended her. In this case too, the label is a moving target: "man" and "woman" are meaningless social constructions on one hand, and pre-existent, pre-social benchmarks that define who one is. That Eskimos...

This Is So Gay. Clap Your Hands If You Believe in Fairies! Tuesday, July 5, 2011. Your Mama's a Bulldagger! Some Notes on Gender. Here are some quotations that have had a strong effect on how I think about gender. I was talking to a friend the other day and dug out some books I'd been meaning to look at again for a long time.

This Is So Gay: I Am the Very Model of the Modern Homosexual; or, Queer Foucauldians Say the Darnedest Things!

http://thisislikesogay.blogspot.com/2009/05/i-am-very-model-of-modern-homosexual-or.html

This Is So Gay. Clap Your Hands If You Believe in Fairies! Tuesday, May 5, 2009. I Am the Very Model of the Modern Homosexual; or, Queer Foucauldians Say the Darnedest Things! Almost any book you read about homosexuality nowadays will pause at some point to retell the Creation Myth of the Homosexual, from the Gospel According to Saint Foucault. (Which, like the Christian Bible, most who refer to it haven’t read. But I digress, and not for the last time.). From the foreheads of 19. In his closing witticis...

This Is So Gay: Fit to Be Stereotyped

http://thisislikesogay.blogspot.com/2015/07/fit-to-be-stereotyped.html

This Is So Gay. Clap Your Hands If You Believe in Fairies! Thursday, July 30, 2015. Fit to Be Stereotyped. Today got hectic, so I wasn't able to finish the post I began. It's just as well, though, because I realized I wanted to cite in it an article. I wrote for the student newspaper fifteen years ago. (I'm surprised I haven't republished it here before.) So here is that older piece, and with luck, I'll be citing it in tomorrow's post. Posted by Duncan Mitchel. View my complete profile. Alas, a Blog.

This Is So Gay: Sorting It Out

http://thisislikesogay.blogspot.com/2014/03/sorting-it-out.html

This Is So Gay. Clap Your Hands If You Believe in Fairies! Tuesday, March 18, 2014. I think I've finally figured out how to express a point I've been fussing about for some time, namely the definition of "homosexuality." For example, the anthropologist Sabine Lang wrote that "In Western culture, a homosexual relationship is defined as being between . two individuals who are of the same sex and the same gender." There are many things wrong with that definition, which I've spelled out. So: A more accurate ...

This Is So Gay: Spock Said It, I Believe It, That Settles It!

This Is So Gay. Clap Your Hands If You Believe in Fairies! Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Spock Said It, I Believe It, That Settles It! After Leonard Nimoy died, I saw a flood of memes based on one of his character Spock's famous lines. Here's one of the more complete ones; most I've seen omit the first clause. One of the things that increasingly turned me off the more I watched the original Star Trek. True, because moral judgments are not logical. Logic, it seems, dictates covering your ass.)

This Is So Gay: Oh, How Can You Say Such Awful Things?

http://thisislikesogay.blogspot.com/2012/08/oh-how-can-you-say-such-awful-things.html

This Is So Gay. Clap Your Hands If You Believe in Fairies! Wednesday, August 22, 2012. Oh, How Can You Say. I'm reading Gary C. Thomas's essay "'Was George Frederic Handel Gay? On Closet Questions and Cultural Politics" in Queering the Pitch: The New Gay and Lesbian Musicology. Even if marriage was a hindrance to musicians, it doesn't seem to have deterred them from marrying.) Oddly, Thomas counters this claim by pointing out that "gay men from Handel's time through Stonewall (but especially. It's unders...
