SYMPOSIUM
3:00 – 4:00 PM
Is
Self Censorship Really Self Loathing in Gay Culture?
MODERATOR:
Bo Tobin. A roundtable discussion on the current trend within
gay culture to curtail aspects of our own community’s cultural
expressions.
-
When
“Dykes on Bikes” are allowed to be the opening contingent
in many Pride parades, they are asked to identify themselves
as “Women’s Cycle Clubs and no longer permitted to be barebreasted.
-
Leathermen
are not permitted to wear bareassed chaps or display actions
such as bondage with rope, shackles or chains.
-
NAMBLA
is not welcomed to participate in PRIDE events or activities,
nor is discussion allowed of their philosophy.
-
Bathhouses
and sex clubs are discouraged from participating in PRIDE
festivals.
-
LOGO (a Gay cable network) routinely censors language, sexuality
and drug use while attempting to represent the “Mainstream
Gay and Lesbian Community”.
-
Promotion of the community’s own Erotic Art Fair Weekend is
banned from being promoted at our own Gay & Lesbian Center.
Are we are willing to leave parts of our cultural heritage behind
to gain acceptance in the larger culture? What are the tradeoffs?
What do we really want?
