OneAngryQueer: July 2013
http://oneangryqueer.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Because you should be pissed off too. Tuesday, July 16, 2013. One of the hard things about having been a war vet and how I have dealt with my feelings on the matter is the difficulty in drudging up sad or traumatic memories and unpacking them years later. I tried for years through drugs to kill my memories and my emotions about the war; meth was an efficient way to distract myself so thoroughly that I did not really think about the things that upset me about Iraq. I had a Martha. Sheesh), and we would sp...

OneAngryQueer: Becoming Male (?)
http://oneangryqueer.blogspot.com/2013/01/becoming-male.html
Because you should be pissed off too. Wednesday, January 30, 2013. This essay was originally used as a testimony for a Sociology class. Dig it anyway. This was easily illustrated to me recently in a conversation I had with a friend. She loudly proclaimed that she hated all men; I feigned taking offense. She laughed, shook her head, and stated “Oh Ian! I don’t view you as a real man.”. The problem, however, is that when we define ourselves we tend to place limitations on our role in society. I donR...

OneAngryQueer: A Letter to John Aravosis (and Other Progressives Who Just Don't Get It)
http://oneangryqueer.blogspot.com/2013/04/a-letter-to-john-aravosis-and-other.html
Because you should be pissed off too. Tuesday, April 30, 2013. A Letter to John Aravosis (and Other Progressives Who Just Don't Get It). Evidently, it's really hard to be you lately. Recently, however, I've been a little disturbed by the rhetoric coming from you, John. In fact, Sue Kerr of Pittsburgh Lesbian Correspondents and I published a piece on the Huffington Post's Gay Voices blog. Addressing a phenomenon that you choose to label "Outrage Inc.":. In the past few months I’ve been accused of su...

OneAngryQueer: Why I'm Angry
http://oneangryqueer.blogspot.com/2013/04/why-im-angry.html
Because you should be pissed off too. Tuesday, April 23, 2013. Trigger warning: This post contains references to wartime violence, sexual assault, IV drug use, and domestic violence. These posts have led some strangers to question, why? Why do you call yourself One Angry Queer? My posts lately. just haven't had my usual indignation. They have had, I like to think, a level of sophistication, of finesse. This isn't one of those. I'm going to tell you why I'm angry. Reagan wouldn't admit that we existed bac...

OneAngryQueer: December 2013
http://oneangryqueer.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Because you should be pissed off too. Sunday, December 1, 2013. A Reminder of Things That Used to Matter. It's World AIDS Day. It's scheduled at a weird time of year, isn't it? Right in between Thanksgiving and Christmas, this day dedicated to one of the deadliest plagues to beset modern humanity is often overlooked. There's shopping to accomplish! Who is really going to take a break to talk about HIV? Why do we not talk about this anymore? American mainstream gay culture is busily divesting itself of it...

OneAngryQueer: Charity vs. Solidarity: Out of the Bathhouses, Into the Streets
http://oneangryqueer.blogspot.com/2013/03/charity-vs-solidarity-out-of-bathhouses.html
Because you should be pissed off too. Monday, March 11, 2013. Charity vs. Solidarity: Out of the Bathhouses, Into the Streets. This was originally a paper for an anthropology class. Please excuse any potential hoity-toityness. While I have often received both criticism and approbation, both from the right and the left, for engaging in discourse on topics related to social justice, the core of the work that I do is driven by reasons not immediately apparent to many. The bathhouse proved to be my downfall,...

Because you should be pissed off too. Monday, March 11, 2013. Check Out My HIV Etiquette Series on Gay.net!
