Here are the details:<br /><br />Center For the Study of Women Presents: <br />'Oedipus Raced, or the Child Queered by Color'<br /> A Talk with Kathryn Stockton, Sponsored by the Center for the Study of Women.<br /><br /><br /><a target='_blank' title='ImageShack - Image And Video Hosting' href='http://img243.imageshack.us/my.php?image=kathrynstocktontj4.jpg'><img src='http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/8457/kathrynstocktontj4.jpg' border='0'/></a><br/><a href="http://g.imageshack.us/img243/kathrynstocktontj4.jpg/1/"><img src="http://img243.imageshack.us/img243/kathrynstocktontj4.jpg/1/w160.png" border="0"></a><br /><br /><br />Date: Wednesday, December 03, 2008<br />Time: 4:00PM - 6:00PM<br />Location: Humanities Room 193<br />Admission: Free and open to the public<br />Contact: Center for the Study of Women <br />(310) 825-0590<br />csw@csw.ucla.edu<br />Web site: Calendar of events<br /><br />Description:<br /><br />Drawn from her forthcoming book, The Queer Child, or Growing Sideways in the Twentieth Century, this talk theorizes how the category of the child is queer, in broad and narrow senses, both racially and sexually, even up through the 1990s. Specifically, the lecture offers a crossing: the point at which the ghostliness of the gay child lends certain meanings to the child queered by color (who, in some cases, might also be gay). Two important films on American race, Guess Whos Coming to Dinner? (1967) and Six Degrees of Separation (1993), show how race relations are haunted by the issuesreally, the spectersof gay children, spawning new slants on psychoanalysis, architectural theory, so-called liberal parenting, and concepts of childhood.<br /><br />I, myself, plan to attend. Perhaps I'll see some of you there. <br />=)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647796088823363200.post-55290254620942005962008-11-30T23:54:00.000-08:002008-11-30T23:57:45.055-08:00One More Thing...Oh!

Perhaps the links will be useful in these last days before our papers are due; if not, I think they are useful for everyday life online anyhow. <br /><br />Here are a couple of directories that have MANY queer internet resources listed, the former giving more of an explanation for its links and the latter in more of a directory format. Amongst other things, they are very useful for finding scholarly information online regarding queer studies, topics and discussions:<br /><br />Digital sexualities: A guide to internet resources : <br /> http://www.theory.org.uk/ctr-que6.htm <br /><br />Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Transsexual, Queer Internet Sites: <br />http://people.ku.edu/~jyounger/lgbtqwww.html <br /><br />Here are a few links to social networking sites:<br /><br />~ beyondstud.ning.com<br />~ http://shelikesgirls.com/<br />~ http://www.rainbowvibes.com/ <br />~ downelink.com <br />~ butchfemmematchmaker.com <br /><br />There are a host of others but its quite simple to find them if you google or Pridelinks.com “queer gay social networking site”<br /><br />Last, but certainly not least, here is the link to the article on the eHarmony lawsuit I mentioned: <br /><br />http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2008/11/eharmony-goes-g.html <br /><br />Once again, my apologies for the delay, but finals has got me a bit swamped.

But it is based on assumptions rather than data, and is riddled with logistical problems. The research was published online Tuesday in the medical journal, The Lancet.</p> <p>"It's quite a startling result," said Charlie Gilks, an AIDS treatment expert at the World Health Organization and one of the paper's authors. "In a relatively short amount of time, we could potentially knock the epidemic on its head."</p> <p>Gilks and colleagues used data from South Africa and Malawi. In their model, people were voluntarily tested each year and immediately given drugs if they tested positive for HIV, regardless of whether they were sick.</p> <p>Within 10 years, HIV infections dropped by 95 percent. Other initiatives like safe sex education and male circumcision were also used.</p> <p>The strategy would cut the estimated number of AIDS deaths between 2008 and 2050 by about half, from about 8.7 million to 3.9 million, leaving only sporadic HIV cases.</p> <p>Experts think the strategy's cost would peak at about $3.4 billion a year, though expenses would fall after an initial investment.</p> <p>"This is certainly beyond the bounds of the current infrastructure for many countries, but that is not a reason not to think big," said Myron Cohen, of the University of North Carolina, who has done similar research. He was not involved in the WHO study.</p> <p>Only 3 million people are currently on AIDS drugs. Nearly 7 million people are still awaiting treatment, and about 3 million more people were infected last year. Worldwide, WHO guesses that about 33 million people have HIV.</p> <p>Increasing access to testing and drugs would stretch already weak health systems in Africa, which has most of the world's HIV cases.</p> <p>"This is not like giving someone a Tylenol," said Jennifer Kates, director of HIV policy for the Kaiser Family Foundation in Washington, DC. Once people start AIDS drugs, they must continue indefinitely. "The idea should be explored, but it's a huge leap," Kates said.</p> <p>Handing out AIDS drugs to everyone who tests positive could also worsen drug resistance.</p> <p>In addition, doctors don't know if it's safe to take AIDS drugs for decades; the oldest drug combinations have only been around for about a dozen years.</p> <p>Other experts questioned whether the strategy might infringe on patient's rights. Once people test positive for HIV, they would be advised to start treatment, even if they weren't sick.</p> <p>That would benefit the community, but not necessarily the patients themselves. AIDS drugs come with side effects including vomiting, liver failure, and heart attacks.</p> <p>WHO emphasized that the study findings do not signal a policy change. "This is only a theoretical exercise," said Dr. Kevin De Cock, director of WHO's HIV/AIDS department. He said WHO would hold a meeting next year to study the idea more closely.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>hmmmm........................ i hope its true!<br /></p></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647796088823363200.post-81103237448101710032008-11-25T21:49:00.000-08:002008-11-25T22:21:42.178-08:00music!i agree, music is extremely powerful. i enjoy techno trance tribal etc and think these genres promote happiness. the motto is plur, peace love unity and respect. a hard standard to live up to but the music does it justice. all walks of life can be seen at a rave, despite the negative connection to drugs, they really are an interesting cross section of peoples and personas. i just came across a song that i think should be played, everywhere.<br />go to this website and play 3000 miles away by judge jules... <br /> http://www.rhapsody.com/judge-jules/the-global-warm-up-mix-cdUnknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647796088823363200.post-13599902075466163432008-11-25T13:16:00.000-08:002008-11-25T13:23:35.795-08:00they reggae drag music artist Bounty Killer writes lyrics that talk about killing gays... read more about it at http://www.gayagenda.com/2008/11/bounty-killer-the-real-face-of-ignorance/.<br /><br /><br />i hate when people like him take something so sacred like music and use it as mechanism to spread hate.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647796088823363200.post-68377015282873129502008-11-24T20:01:00.000-08:002008-11-24T20:14:01.487-08:00Mala NocheI just got a chance to see Gus Van Sant's<span style="font-style: italic;"> Mala Noche</span>. Its an unrequited love story between the main character, a white shop owner, and a Mexican immigrant new in the U.S. after crossing the border. The cinematography is gritty and the overall tone as expected is sad. We all have wanted something we have so this film resonated with me. The film didnt make me want to jump for joy but its interesting to see the topic of love unrequited from a queer perspective.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647796088823363200.post-76288763538197485182008-11-23T21:16:00.000-08:002008-11-23T21:21:16.918-08:00<a href="http://transwoman.tripod.com/young.htm">The Medical Treatment of Young MtF Transwomen</a><br /><br />I just thought I would post this.

I asked one woman why she had unprotected sex and she said, she had nothing lose and that sex was the only thing that felt good in her life.<br /><br />so does educating about the disease help? and if it does, how much? does anyone know a statistic? these are not rhetorical questions... i really want to know. thanks!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647796088823363200.post-35943002195156100412008-11-18T22:06:00.000-08:002008-11-18T22:10:20.514-08:00Shane Mercado--The Next YouTube Sensation<span style="font-family: arial;">I remember how we were talking about YouTube and YouTube sensations.
