You are officially my hero. Also, we're probably dating ourselves. Maybe queer ageist fighting kiss ins? And I identify as pansexual now, but biphobia. OMG! I just wrote about it this week. Because biphobia sucks. I went to lesbian potlucks and some women wouldn't speak to me!
Okay, so you say I'm your hero and propose queer anti-agism kiss ins.
But before you said the hero thing, you probably didn't know that I worked with Loree Cook-Daniels a bit, one of the most important names in queer aging and anti-elder abuse b/c I had a history in doing anti-DV work for queers and trans folk. And as a result of my work inside anti-DV women's shelters, I got a chance to talk to assisted living facilities about queer-centred aging and living services.
Sure, most of it was just things I picked up from Cook-Daniels who did the real work in that area, but I'll let some of that coolness rub off on me.
Some olds don't need sex anymore, and that's fine. Some folks don't want sex anymore, and that's fine. But some of us do, and even when we don't, we're still queer as fuck: no one ages out of that.
Unfortunately I still can't claim to have done any anti-agism queer kiss-ins, but I'm still okay with what I got done.
> Some olds don't need sex anymore, and that's fine. Some folks don't want sex anymore, and that's fine. But some of us do, and even when we don't, we're still queer as fuck: no one ages out of that.
Not to mention that some queers don’t want sex at all, and that’s fine too! They’re still a part of queerdom!
I didn't know and you are amazing! I'm saying that in all seriousness. You deserve the coolness. Thank you for all the work. I need to get educated about queer-centered ageing! I've watched documentaries, but that's it.
Kiss-ins. Oh, Kiss-ins.
It's the you-have-no-sexuality-you're-old that personally gets me. Asexuality, allosexuality or any other kind as we age. I've never heard of an anti-ageism queer kiss in happening, but I can hope. :) Something like the sucking face in On Golden Pond, but queered to an exponent of infinity.
Fabulous post about assholes. Do you remember kiss ins by queer nation? You have inspired me. I want to call into the snitch line. Im an actor. A different accent and character every time. Maybe I could speak in perfect Shakespearean iambic pentameter. Because driving these bigots crazy sounds utterly amazing.
I got kicked out of Clackamas Town Center mall in the Portland Oregon suburbs doing a Lesbian Avenger kiss-in. I made out with two other people at the same time for a bisexual kiss-in sponsored by Queer Nation. And then, when some assfaces from Queer Nation that didn't know me marched directly behind Portland Bisexual Alliance in the Pride parade, my partner grabbed me and stuck her tongue down my throat because they were harassing bi people for daring to march in a Pride parade.
Yeah, I remember QN. Did some stuff with them. They had their good moments and their bad moments, but yeah. The kiss-ins were great.
As a tall, broad-shouldered female who has been mistaken for a man many times in my life, I can say that there are implications that extend well beyond the trans community.
latter day ain'ts.....

You rock.
I'm just waiting for them to try to transcheck Michelle Obama.

Good Trouble. Necessary Trouble. John Lewis is smiling, I hope!
Aw, that screen shot just warns my little cockles.

Absatively.
