I am sure that it starts with just learning about the community and being friends with people and that there is no guide. However, there are numerous guides for white people on how to be an ally in the anti-racist movement and I could use some help figuring out how to be an ally. As a straight person of color, I am a part of my school's lgbtq alliance. I feel very strange because I am the only person of color in the room. I adore all of the people as individuals, and as a straight person, feel it is important for me to be an ally. I do feel scared and unsure of how to be though... Any advice or insight?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-4583001531293975212011-03-20T12:13:16.202-04:002011-03-20T12:13:16.202-04:00It is just a bunch of BS.It is just a bunch of BS.libhomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05537213558568338561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-27742167724758248502011-03-20T01:17:45.270-04:002011-03-20T01:17:45.270-04:00Sounds butch to me.

Just because I experience myself as wholly masculine, that doesn't mean I project masculinity to others. It doesn't mean my own subjectively masculine thoughts, feelings, desires, demeanor, and behavior are interpreted by others as such. I just happen to deviate from conventional gender norms in a way that does not pertain to my sexual preference or subjective gender identity. To give a familiar example of the same, many dedicated cross-dressers are, aside from their choice of attire, gender normative heterosexuals. Nevertheless, the majority strongly tends to conceive of them as queer, thereby consigning them to minority status.<br /><br />Personally, I prefer even to construe sexual preference (heterosexuality/homosexuality) as a dimension entirely separate from gender identity or expression (straight/queer). Accordingly, I'd submit there exist both "straight" male homosexuals (e.g. bears, who largely do conform to male behavioral norms) as well as queer male homosexuals (e.g. twinks, who in many ways do not conform to male behavioral norms).<br /><br />But regardless, your own definition is arbitrarily restrictive, in my opinion, because it takes into account only one's subcultural affiliation, sexual preference, and/or gender identity, while excluding one's gender expression (at least as something that may be independent of gender identity).<br /><br />Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queer), for what it's worth, gives an even broader definition than what I advocate here: "The range of what queer includes varies. In addition to referring to LGBT-identifying people, it can also encompass: pansexual, pomosexual, intersexual, genderqueer, asexual and autosexual people, and even gender normative heterosexuals whose sexual orientations or activities place them outside the heterosexual-defined mainstream, e.g., BDSM practitioners, or polyamorous persons."<br /><br />By the way, if LGBT culture would ever acknowledge and accept people like myself, I'd be delighted to come into the fold. So far, though, I've faced only rejection from straights and queers alike. And it's your loss, cause I happen to be pretty awesome :)RThttp://www.facebook.com/robert.turnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-71570708019305880482011-03-06T21:55:54.161-05:002011-03-06T21:55:54.161-05:00THANK YOU.THANK YOU.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-91100475746916888732011-03-06T14:54:05.975-05:002011-03-06T14:54:05.975-05:00I believe all Subway stores are independently owne...I believe all Subway stores are independently owned franchises, so I have to wonder, how did "Subway" fire this guy?

I am not open to same-sex relationships and I do not identify with or fit into the LGBT community, yet I am absolutely *not straight*. Despite rightly acknowledging the existence of queer heterosexuality, you are still attempting to claim that all forms of queerness are ultimately tied to and defined by an association with LGBT culture. This is not correct. Queerness can and should be construed much more broadly.RThttp://www.facebook.com/robert.turnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3451574857665049482.post-63085335943118441302011-03-04T21:23:03.661-05:002011-03-04T21:23:03.661-05:00Not sure about the leather part and I tried to fig...Not sure about the leather part and I tried to figure that one out myself.
