I had a very meaningful learning experience watching Rent with some friends yesterday. While I have taken part in dialogues over gender and sexuality, I always learn something new when I take the time to listen. As a cis-gendered, heterosexual male I am afforded certain privileges, but I recognize that the "normalcy" people attach to my gender and sexual identity is not only myopic and ignorant, but also insensitive. I have a gender and sexual identity, what's yours? |
