I usually feel a bit schizophrenic because I have to split my brain between my concerns as a radical who is concerned with race and gender and as a radical who is involved in alternative culture. I never get to see anything like this from alternative culture magazines or blogs and seeing reference to queer rights and anti-racism this visceral is pretty powerful and makes me really appreciate you cats all the more. I'd offer a solitary correction though: People of color weren't simply present in the early queer rights movement. They were largely the ones at the front lines, mostly they were pushed out of mainstream feminist organizations. I just wanted to pop in and say how much I appreciate you running this.

It was nice to see those heart warming images. I've been fighting for gay rights since I knew what gay was and it's very disheartening to see anti gay adds being played for the public. But they are right, a storm is coming and you cant stop a storm, it's natural beauty and power will come no matter what they say.
