I was doing some research on the concept of LGBT bookstores, and I started thinking about how LGBT bookstores provided information which was not otherwise available. Nowadays it is harder to identify examples of physical locations which share information of a sort which absolutely cannot be found outside of those locations. I feel like there […]

My “disco” teacher, whatever ability he has, is intolerable to me. He is too strange to be my teacher and Nandan says he will find another within a day or two. The last thing I will say about oblivious disregard for the notion of alternative sexuality is a description of something that I saw on […]
