Monday, October 25, 2010. Why do I use the term “gay bullying” and not bullying alone? 8220;Almost 85 percent of LGBTQ teenagers are harassed in high school because of their sexual orientation, with 61 percent of gay youth reporting that they felt unsafe in school and 30 percent staying home to avoid bullying” -. 2009 Gay Lesbian Straight Education Network.

Friday, July 9, 2010. Rolodex of Feminism and Moving Forth. After a brief conversation last night trying to help a friend find a word/term for describing a group of feminist from author Ruth Rosen, I realized how much of a feminist virgin I am. Now, don’t get me wrong, I have a whole line of blog entries to fill here of all of my personal experiences of being, acting, and learning feminism. Putting that aside, what I am really lacking is the education of past feminist writings. What else is on the shelf?

Tuesday, September 7, 2010. God, Family, Lattes and Bikini's. It’s the same old sexism with a bold new flavor. There is a new business in this sleepy little West Tx town, using the same old ways of commerce/capitalism, turning a buck at the expense of others. Owned by Joe and Bruce, two “God fearing” and “family loving” guys that just want to put their entrepreneurial skills “out on a limb”, have opened a new coffee house. What’s the big deal? It’s just a coffee shop, right? Couldn't get the link to be e...

Friday, January 29, 2010. Through visual art, I have broken my silence and hit my stride in depicting other issues that come with loving someone of the same sex openly.
