We should have a meet-up at OutWrite in Atlanta sometime before Pride.
-
I’m down for this! Isn’t Stonewall Week fun stuff going on?
-
Yepyep! Starts the 18th of this month with a free charity drag show.
-
-
I’d go as well. When are you thinking of meeting?
-
Let’s do Saturday, the 18th at OutWrite? I’ll ask them to reserve a table – I’m already sitting in here, haha.
-
Around 6:00pm?
-
Sounds good to me. But if that doesn’t work for everyone, could we put it off til I get back in July? I’m going out of town next week but I really wanna come. :)
-
I’ll miss anything going on in june too, but absolutely would like to do part 2 in July!
-
-
-
-
-
I would definitely attend this!

Kind of surprised there aren’t more people in this group – aren’t we the gayest city in the USA now? Anyway, HEY Y’ALL. I’m currently taking a leave from Agnes Scott until January, looking for new friends for adventures. Also, if anyone needs a roommate starting in August (or knows someone who does) definitely get in touch!
-
adventures! hell yeah. what kind of adventures? will anyone go hiking with me when i’m off these $&%* crutches?!
-
I’m always up for hiking! I don’t know many of the trails around here, though.
-
Hiking!
-
-
New friends and adventures sounds like exactly how I want to spend summer break! =)

How do you deal with misogynistic or homophobic language from people you care about? I’ve been trying to keep my dad from saying “dyke” for the past four years with zero progress. (He just kind of laughs whenever I say anything against it because I’m such a silly little creature, yaknow.) I have a twin brother who I love deeply but who is even…[Read more]

So difficult. Have you ever persuaded them of anything else, and if so you how did you it, i.e. what works on them? My parents are deeply geeky, so giving them essays to read seems to be working. Whether it’s more effective coming from family or stranger prob depends on the relationship – sounds like your dad has issues with taking you…[Read more]

I think AS had an article on dealing with offensive language from people you know a while ago. And this guide from Amanda Marcotte is more about mythbusting than just dealing with sexist slurs, but you might find it interesting and helpful nonetheless: http://pandagon.net/index.php/site/comments/is_it_worth_it_to_argue_down_right_wing_myths

I’ve also noticed that a good way to call people out is to use humor. For example, say that you hear somebody say that it’s weird for a boy to like to play with dolls. You could say something like “Wow, I didn’t know that genitalia had an effect on toy preference!” (obviously, genitalia does not determine gender, but people who make these…[Read more]

I sympathize with you so, so much on this. The same thing has happened to me with people I’m close to and I haven’t really had a lot of luck changing people’s opinions on things. With one family member, I finally just said “These things you say hurt me. Seriously. You’re my aunt; why don’t you care that you’re hurting me?” It didn’t change…[Read more]

You probably saw this if you looked at the feministe link, but this is really helpful: http://www.illdoctrine.com/2008/07/how_to_tell_people_they_sound.html
Another thing I think you need to figure out is if you’re dealing with the virulent, down-to-their-bones kind of hate or the privilege-denying-cluelessness. If it’s the former, there’s kind…[Read more]

Shameless plug– YouthPride is a very nice thing if you’re 13-24, so college kids seeking friends might want to hit that up. http://www.youthpride.org/
