"Ideologies are harmless, uncritical and arbitrary opinions only as long as they are not believed in..."

““Ideologies are harmless, uncritical and arbitrary opinions only as long as they are not believed in seriously. Once their claim to total validity is taken literally they become the nuclei of logical systems in which, as in the systems of paranoiacs, everything follows comprehensibly and even compulsorily once the first premise is accepted. The insanity of such systems lies not only in their first premise but in the very logicality with which they are constructed. The curious logicality of all isms, their simple-minded trust in the salvation value without regard for specific, varying factors, already harbors the first germs of totalitarian contempt for reality and factuality.””

“Patriarchal masculinity teaches men that their sense of self and identity, their reason for being, resides in their capacity to dominate others. To change this males must critique and challenge male domination of the planet, of less powerful men, of women and children.”

Todos tenemos dos partes “aparentemente” contrarias, pero en realidad son complementarias. Sin una no podría existir la otra tal cual es. Somos la inhalación y la exhalación de nuestros sentidos, de nuestros morbos, deseos y sueños. Somos quienes debemos ser a cada momento y más nos vale gozar esa libertad sin preocuparnos por lo que piensen los demás, porque mientras más se duda de nuestra autenticidad, más se reafirma en nosotros. No trates de convencer a nadie de nada, convéncete de ti mismo. Somos únicos, somos irrepetibles, somos valientes si aprendemos a escucharnos y a reflejar diferentes caras, facetas, alegrías y tristezas. Pero más somos cada que nos atrevemos a reinventarnos y a volver a despistar a los que únicamente se guían por la trampa de sus ojos.

Ser quienes somos es la sonrisa que nunca se apaga.

“I knew “Kiki” was by the Scissor Sisters, a band I really like, and I was excited they turned to black gay culture for creative inspiration. Watch the music video, though, and you don’t see a single person of color. Anywhere. I mean, how can you do a music video about serving, working and letting them have it and not show some fierce bitch from the blatino gay scene! Even the opening monologue of the song, where lead Scissor Sister Ana Matronic sasses off about how her party was ruined and now her weave is messed up, is said in an inflected black voice. Why didn’t they just get a cameo from somebody from the vogue scene?

This is not like when Lena Dunham didn’t cast any brown folks on Girls. That was about not thinking about brown people period. This is about stealing from brown people and not thinking about them, period. In the case of “Kiki,” queer brown folks are the ones who invented the terms that make up the entirety of the Scissor Sisters chart-topping song, and those faces have been completely wiped out. I’m willing to bet that the gays watching this video will have no idea where these words come from. But the reality is that these are terms that were created so that gays of color could communicate with one another in a clandestine way, and scholars like E. Patrick Johnson, Henry Louis Gates, and Geneva Smitherman have done research on the uniqueness and specificity of black (gay) speech patterns. For the Scissor Sisters to use and capitalize on black gay slang without paying due credit to the people who invented it isn’t appropriation—it’s straight up cultural larceny.”
