Colonialism, Two-Spirit Identity, and the Logics of White Supremacy | Phoenix Singer. That the Western binary is a system of oppression and repression and is actively a form of institutional violence against the Two-Spirit. This is all connected to the idea of white supremacyand domination over Indigenous bodies and beliefs, of colonization of our very selves. Thus ananalysis of colonization and white supremacy is not complete without an approach towards Two- Spirit identity in our own communities. In conversation with Andrea Smith’s Indigeneity, Settler Colonialism, White Supremacy and Steve Martinot’s White Supremacy, the Colonial Commodification of the Land, and the Corporate Structure we can better understand not only the process of colonization but the impact it has had on our traditional concepts of self.

Graffiti on a wall in Beirut (Frankie Cook | SW) HOW, WHEN and why did HELEM or the LGBT movement in Lebanon emerge? HELEM STARTED around 2001-2003.

We feel that a lot of this interference had to do with what was going on in this region, that it was justification for U.S. and UN intervention.
D’où vient le mythe selon lequel les Noirs africains et antillais seraient forcément toujours hétéros ? – Partie 1 | CHRONIK D'UN NÈGRE INVERTI. "Je crois et j’espère que les nègres étaient exempts de cette maladie morale dans leur propre pays". Cette citation d’Edward Gibbon, historien britannique du 18e siècle, tiré de son célèbre ouvrage Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire (1781), résume à elle seule la pensée coloniale qui a ancré l’idée d’une impossibilité pour des Africains noirs d’avoir des relations de même sexe.

Cette conviction tient lieu de défense identitaire compréhensible, face à un impérialisme culturel occidental qui entend définir le Vrai, le Bien, et surtout, le Progrès. Donc : Channelling Efunsetan, Ahebi, Alaba Ida, Nzinga... - To illustrate, Kendall found that the notion of...
