The Politics of Desireability: A Community Discussion on (Online) Intimacy with LGBTSTGNC People of Color
When:
Monday, December 9, 2013 - 7:00pm to 9:00pm
What safety strategies to LGBTSTNGNC people of color take in navigating the online dating and hookup world in ways that do justice to our identities and politics? How do we negotiate racist, classist, transphobic, and other prejudiced economies of desire? How do we learn how to cultivate self-love and self-care in the context of these prejudiced beauty politics? Where do LGBTSTNGNC people meet one another to find intimacy and romance? More broadly -- how do our feelings of desire and sexuality relate to our movement work and participation? Do we recreate beauty hierarchies in our own communities? How can we better use online platforms to extend our community space?
