Re: the masks Gay people Wear/Activate/Embody

verrrrrrrrry interesting.

i've traveled thru brazil,

and there is a strong crossover of many myths., tribal, machismo, yoruba, etc…

this discription yourself and how you identify others and them to you, is actually brought on, or influenced by a sore lack of any myth frame storie set for gay men/women…

most of queer culture is a dynamic and slave to madison avenue advertising/commodification.  I worked in advertising in new york city, and certainly it has helped me to see through a lot of the images that are conjured to “sell” more product,.

 I think, what we do, is start smale in doing some theaterre, some sort of hip zine/ or other tools to cultivate a new awareness of “queer identity/self” in a changing fast world…

 I'll think of this some more,,, but off i go for now…

PS, it's always been my thought that the Bars for example are visits to the underworld, so that “shapeshifting/eros etc. can be conjured….

more on that
