tuluum's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Myopia (article) An excellent article that caught my eye... http://ingalagringa.com/misc/myopia.html (excerpt) "I have spoken to editors at various magazines, and asked them why they weren?t publishing articles about what is going on in the world. The general response is: ?We?re not a political magazine. We?re a cultural magazine.? That means, while I would very much like to know how all the brilliant queer thinkers of our time are analyzing this situation where white men are poised to kill the planet and everyone on it, and I would like to know more about that fighting dyke spirit that once did things like bust Assata Shakur (one of those Black Militants the FBI targeted) out of prison in a helicopter, and I would like very much to feel like I had a queer community that was goddamn PRESENT in this world, I am at the mercy of a bunch of generally straight (white) men who are analyzing things from their own often heterosexually myopic point of view-with the occasional much sought after bone thrown from Arundhati Roy, Cynthia McKinney or Yuri Kochiyama." **************************************************************************** Current Clix Ranking: 17 | Previous Clix Ranking: 17 1:04 p.m. - Monday, May. 26, 2003 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
