Feminist

Though spanning several different theory domains and priorities for the movement, all the resources listed on this page understand the idea of women being a distinct and oppressed class in our current patriarchal culture. Each of the following groups or websites works in their own specific ways to end gender based oppression, and violence against women perpetrated by men. 

Anti Racist

The sites on this page all have varied and sometimes divergent approaches to racial justice and racial understanding. They write about, discuss, and usually but not always have a personal or educational connection to, issues of race, ethnicity, and racism in North America. All actively work towards a goal of eradicating racist and white supremacist attitude and action.

GLBTQ

These organizations and web sites write from the perspective that for most people, sexual orientations and gender identify be viewed on a human continuum of diverse sexuality and gender deportment. They further believe that all are entitled to nothing less than full rights and access ascribed to all citizens.

I intentionally place the transphobia website first in this list to center the idea and demonstrate my sincere belief that the mainstream lesbian and gay community must offer full acceptance and support to our trans brothers and sisters

No Real Thinking Required

Because, on occasion, I have been known to do the best teenage, Valley girl accent this side of California, I got a particular kick out of this video. With the rate that Allison and I are going, sometime in the next twelve hours we will be sick to death of talking like this to each other and everyone else who is unfortunate enough to listen.

So like, enjoy.
