Elton John, Diana Ross and Cher at the Rock Music Awards, 1975

On the night of my death, your despair was so loud that I could hear it clawing through the earth to find me. All the men screaming, begging, still could not drown out the wailing of your hands. I once held your soldier heart between my war teeth, shook it like a dog with a bone until it knew the fear of good love. Do you remember? I wore your armor just to feel deathless. I wore your armor just to know what it meant to be inside of you. I will dream of kissing your ankles again, of pulling the weeping arrow out of you and cutting through the earth so that we may walk among it. My love. My life. What I would give to be the only pile of ashes here. What I would give to be a sleeping body beside you.

My love, how was I to know that they would make a myth of us? Did we not die? Are we not dead? Are your bones not my bones? Before the war. Before we had to kiss Troy out of each other’s teeth, we were a paradise. You were the only one I kneeled before. You made the warrior in me tired. They write about your death. How I sliced through countless men trying to build a monument to the monster I was after your body blazed before me. I can tell you now that I begged for the arrow. Welcomed it. My last wish was to sleep beside you in our tent. To hide you so well in the afterlife that no God could take you from me again. My quiet love was yours from the beginning. I call my ankles by your name. When mother dipped me in the river, she was introducing us.

The Seattle Review of Books just wrote about Hanif Willis-Abdurraqib’s debut book: “The Crown Ain’t Worth Much is a brave, stirring debut by a voice beyond his years who is leading a new class of poets that are changing the face of modern American poetry.” Get your copy of Hanif’s incredible book here.

people have been debating the political efficacy and ethical concerns of using the word “queer” as a self-identifier, unifying term to describe populations, and/or theoretical framework for decades. these debates are not about two sides, where one side thinks it’s great and the other thinks it’s terrible and everybody in either camp agrees with everybody else in their camp. larry kramer’s argument against the use of “queer” is not at all the same as cathy j. cohen’s critique of queer theory and queer activism and their deployment of “queer”. similarly, the way that michael warner imagines the applications of “queer” is not the same as how karen barad uses “queer” to describe natural phenomena. the way that queer as folk invokes “queer” in its title is different than how the office invokes “queer” as an insult. “smear the queer” uses the word differently than “we’re here, we’re queer”. it’s a difficult word, largely by design when it comes to contemporary applications/reclamations.

any simplistic single history of the word “queer” or of feelings about the word “queer” is already a failure, not only in terms of accuracy, but also just in understanding of how people have come to conceive of “queer” as a thing that cannot be pinned down, easily defined or made stable. whether or not you agree what that understanding, to not include that aspect of the word in your attempt to theorize around it is an unforgivable blind spot. “queer” is complicated, it has multiple histories and meanings, and not accounting for that, especially when talking as if you’re an expert on the issue, is an enormous failure. lgbtq people have rich and complex histories and cultures. if you’re not willing to account for that, then get out of the business of trying to tell our stories.

So apparently last year the National Park Service in the US dropped an over 1200 page study of LGBTQ American History as part of their Who We Are program which includes studies on African-American history, Latino history, and Indigenous history.

Like. This is awesome. But also it feels very surreal that maybe one of the most comprehensive examinations of LGBTQ history in America (it covers sports! art! race! historical sites! health! cities!) was just casually done by the parks service.

I would like to add that this isn’t odd.

The Park Service is more than just Yellowstone and the Everglades, the National Park Service has custody over hundreds, if not thousands of historic sites, houses, and battlefields. It’s part of their mission to interpret US history and make it available to its citizens. They have completed studies for African American history, Native American history, women’s history, and more.

It’s sad that people let this aspect of the Park Service fall through the cracks.
