this is the text of the pdf.
NO HOMONATIONALISM, NO HOMOMILITARISM, NO ASSIMILATION
We’re all being told that marriage equality and the repeal of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell is progress, and that the LGBT community is moving towards equality. But is it really progress? And is equality really what we need?
Some of us queers say no. We’re not interested in buying into State-sanctioned...

Stephen Harper's govt. to cut the arts? So it... →
Though it shouldn’t be all too surprising, it certainly is. Harper’s conservative government will cut public funds to the arts, leaving them high and dry. Many arts institutions across the U.S. and Canada rely heavily on public funding. States in the U.S., such as Arkansas, have moved forward in cutting public funding to the arts.

Faggot-Tat Tuesdays!
I thought that it might be interesting to photograph (cute) queer guys and their tattoos every Tuesday or so, possibly making it a bi-weekly thing (every two Tuesdays). I’m not quite sure yet though. We shall see where this goes and where it doesn’t.
This is my friend Xander and his new tattoo of an octopus, which he has lovingly nicknamed “Pussy”.

An NYT piece on "Making It Together: Women's... →

This is the first time a Picasso has been loaned to a Palestinian museum/art space from any institution. It’s pretty significant in that it raises the possibility of art getting into the West Bank regardless of the occupation.

Gender and Sex in AbEx →
Every issue has me wondering if I should subscribe or not, if i agree or not. I seem to have a love/hate relationship with Artforum (as I do with anything even remotely related to “art”). This issue however is by far my favorite in months. This article by Amy Sillman makes a few good points about AbEx, its history and legacy, and the need to look back and re-examine it without having...
