Anything That Loves: New Comics Collection Explores The Space Between Gay and Straight

Anything That Loves: New Comics Collection Explores The Space Between Gay and Straight | PinkieB.com | LGBTQ+ Life | Scoop.it

People often talk about a hierarchy inherent in the acronym LGBT: that gays and lesbians garner the most attention and representation, while the “B” and the “T” get left out of the conversation or are excluded on purpose, even within the queer community. Meanwhile, some identities are left off altogether. Northwest Press’ new release, Anything That Loves: Comics Beyond “Gay” and “Straight,” an anthology edited by Charles “Zan” Christensen, seeks to fill that void of representation. In fact, one of Randall Kirby’s contributions even addresses the acronym problem, although what he ends up with is a GBLT (a gay bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich).

Believing in our youth... investing where it matter. There are some national organizations that have told our gay youth they are unwelcome, asserting gay youth do not meet their leadership or membership standards. Join with us as we tell our youth they EXCEED those standards and that we are proud of them. A little friendly support and encouragement goes a long way for students who often face personal hardship and rejection due to their sexual orientation.

The Barilla Boycott and LGBT Life in Italy

The Barilla Boycott and LGBT Life in Italy | PinkieB.com | LGBTQ+ Life | Scoop.it

You might think that this is just another Chick-fil-A case in which LGBT activism becomes a simplistic decision about being for or against a corporation, as J. Bryan Lowder argued here yesterday. But there is more to this story: Since the controversy started in Italy and involves an Italian company, it’s really about the state of LGBT life in my home country. I understand and agree with Bryan’s concern about not transforming LGBT activism into implicit support of corporate personhood, but as an Italian who immigrated to the U.K. (partly because I’m LGBT), I can assure you that is not what’s happening. When angry Italian people started tweeting about Barilla’s statements, they were not only calling for the boycott of a specific company—they were protesting against a system of legitimized public homophobia.
