Dear Atlanta. You have such charm. But I found my experience - TopicsExpress



          

Dear Atlanta. You have such charm. But I found my experience living there a bit frustrating. People called it a mecca and so in 2007 I went with big dreams that lasted maybe a few weeks. I realized quickly that if all the LGBTQ folk lining up at bars, clubs, and strip joints were actually lining up to protest or fight for employment or discrimination protections, the city would surely have to respond. But it is charming: gender non-conformity at Lennox Mall, J-setting in the park, lots of gay men in churches behind homophobic preachers, lots of black women bragging about their gays. Charming. Bodies do not a movement make, without bodies willing to move things forward.
