Why Are Faggots So Afraid of Faggots? San Francisco Book Launch with Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore & contributors!
A delicious discussion with contributors Jaime Cortez, Tommi Avicolli Mecca, Debanuj DasGupta, Booh Edouardo, Eric Stanley, Harris Kornstein, Gina de Vries, Horehound Stillpoint, Matthew D. Blanchard, and your lovely host Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore
Join editor Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore for a sweet and sassy intervention into the heart of queer culture! Why Are Faggots So Afraid of Faggots collects essays, experiences, analyses, and explorations into the norms that have come to define mainstream gay life in America: marriage, military, kids. Against the grain (as always), Mattilda and the contributors to this saucy volume postulate a different life for queers, one that recalls the liberatory moments of gay culture of the late twentieth century, and looks forward to a new, more radical queering of twentieth-century gay culture.
