3/29/18 review of talk by CeCe McDonald and Joshua Allen

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of a March, 2018, talk given by CeCe McDonald and Joshua Allen at the University of Colorado Denver on the Auraria Campus.

The thread gives a summary of the talk and some context on McDonald, Allen, and their Black Excellence Tour. The thread discusses a lot of themes from the talk, such as helping LGBTQ people in our own families, checking in with our friends, starting locally with helping LGBTQ people, questioning our own privilege, the disproportionate violence trans people of color face, and the media visibility of trans people today.

The tweets in some of my threads have been twisted out of chronological order by Twitter's platform. This thread's coherency has been moderately affected. My apologies.

3/20/18 review of a night of political phone banking with One Colorado

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of a night in March of 2018 I spent doing political phone banking with One Colorado, Colorado's leading advocacy organization for LGBTQ Coloradans and their families.

The evening was spent phone banking in favor of the Colorado Civil Rights Division which, in 2018, the Republican-led State Senate was attempting to close down. The thread discusses that history and a lot of my experience up to then with rallying for the CCRD. It also mentions the restaurant Hamburger Mary's, which is a fabulous spot.

10/5/17 review of book Jesus Acted Up, by Robert Goss

Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of the book Jesus Acted Up: A Gay and Lesbian Manifesto, by Robert Goss.

The thread gives a summary of the book and some context on why I read it. It discusses the book's themes, such as the crucial activist moments in recent LGBTQ history, Christ's love versus patriarchal ideologies, the importance of Christian LGBTQ community, erotic and agape love, the sacraments as a queer act, and some of my criticisms of Goss's emphasis on the importance of Christianity for LGBTQ people.
