ABOVE THE FRUITED PLAIN
Have these on my desk by Monday morning
by Aubrey Wertheim
We are a community blessed with a daunting ability to get things writ.
From the King James Bible to Barbara Smith's Homegirls, literary wonders are penned and published with a clip and fecundity that is the envy of what we puckishly dub The Dominant Culture.
Why then this alarming lack of pamphlets to keep The Movement's current and evermultiplying new arrivals informed?
Far less worthy factions buzzcut the globe and litter the vista with no end of scarcelyliterate tracts, pseudo-moral manifestos and similar reactionary blather-while too many of you are a-diddling on the Internet!
Recognizing that most of our folk still live in the technological hinterlands, in blissfully green acres beyond the Information Highway, the need for hard copy remains, well, pressing.
Thus and herewith, a memo from the Fruited Plain: our list of brochures requiring immediate writing, production and release:
Primers Youth Series
Coming Out in Middle School Coming Out in Grade School Coming Out when Home-Schooled by a Fundamentalist Family
Queering Your Prom (Graduation, Science Fair, etc.)
Adult Series
Coming Out to Your Pet
