Interesting article on teenaged girls and queer identity.

Is the gay rights movement evolving the way the feminist movement did, so that kids today don't know why we old folks were so adamant about identity definitions?

Actually, that statement resonated strongly with the flak I've seen the folks in queerbychoice. Yes, people really do get pissy about it. And yes, it really is sad. :/

(oh, look, I got an LJ account, I'm no longer anonymous :)

I'm beginning to think the guys over at User Friendly have it right (see the series of comics starting with http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20040103 and no, their sunday cartoon doesn't fit in with the rest)

Admittedly, those are more for geeks who feel they don't fit in because they're geeks. I'm a geek, who feels he doesn't fit in for _lots_ of reasons... not the least of which, is that I actually try to be _tolerant_. It's amazing that we, as a country, have come so far... and yet, in some ways, we seem to still be stuck in the 1800s.

Or maybe I should just get more sleep, I dunno...
