  •  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V1c3LP7Eg8, As long as we are able to accept our capacity to be assimilated into whiteness if we are not to dark, or to gay, or to radical: we will always be manipulated by those possessing wealth and privilege who are unashamed of how they rewrite history to cover their transgressions; especially if it paints the privilege into a pretty picture; one where they are able to practice divide and conquer tactics by creating favored minorities which can be pitted against each other in order to compete for limited resources. This is also compounded by altering or omitting historical facts that would the least favored minorities to be viewed as actual socioeconomic contributors in various fields of endeavor that range from entertainment to math and science. Unfortunately this is still the case with those segments of our population that is darker than others. This is why I resent black history month because blacks are still presented as having nothing to do with technical or scientific developments in America; instead we are presented as happy, smiling faces that can only sing and dance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2qUzr3DYyY, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56AwEjXzh-U

Notes on Adorning “Otherness”

By The Disfactor
Picture: By The Atlantic Disfactor art: By Jabram Allen According to David Shariatmadari off the  Guardian “We think we know what a gay person sounds like. But there   are caveats to the cliche — and ‘voice-shaming’ tells us a lot more about our culture than it does about the person speaking” According to Shariatmadari; “the research says probably not. There’s mountains of evidence to suggest we adapt our speech to more closely resemble that of people we identify with. The particular sounds a group of speakers makes use of are arbitrary.

But, linguistically speaking, sounding gay is really no different from sounding street, sounding posh or sounding like a bro”. In other words, groups develop, practice and telegraph those actions that set them apart from other groups so that they may be intentionally recognized by those that don’t be...

SFGMC Current Tour

By The Disfactor
The San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus (SFGMC) is the world's first openly gay chorus, one of the world's largest male choruses [1] and the group most often credited with creating the LGBT choral movement. [2] The chorus was founded by gay music pioneer Jon Reed Sims . Despite popular misconceptions, the group does not require that members identify as gay or bisexual. The eligibility requirements for SFGMC are to be at least 18 years of age, to self identify as a man, and to pass the audition process defined by the Artistic Director.
