GLAAD's Mission. Identity, sex, religion, life, liberty, and the pursuit of something resembling happiness. Last week I was working with a group of high school seniors and I made them brainstorm on a teacher, or teachers, who had made a positive impact on their lives prior to high school.

The “prior to high school” caveat was mainly because they were all still in high school and I wanted them to think back. We talked about what makes a good teacher and eventually settled on the answer, “it’s the little things.” Then I made them look up an email address or, if needed, a physical address of a teacher they remembered had made an impact on them though “the little things.” We wrote letters, by hand and on computers, thanking those teachers for what they’d done, detailing that “little thing,” and updating them on where their former students were now and where they hoped to go in the future. What is Genderqueer? For the last year I’ve been more visible about being genderqueer.

What is Genderqueer?

It’s an identity I feel is very important to put forward, especially as I find myself receiving more mainstream attention, though I could just as easily identify with any number of other identities I hold to my being. Despite the fact that I’ve used the word “genderqueer”, I realized I haven’t shared much on my site about what the term means to me.

What is Genderqueer? (for me, right now) Nutshell: Someone who is “genderqueer” has fluid ideas about gender expression and may not identify as being a man or a woman. The longer story: Genderqueer is a pretty new term. I also loved other terms such as androgynous/androgyne, genderfuck, two-spirit, trans entity, bi-gendered, third gendered, multi-gendered, fluid, transboi, boydyke, boi, and many more. As someone who struggled (and still struggles) with gender I found myself uncomfortable with what was expected of me in terms of cisgender appearance and behaviors. Stonewall riots. The Stonewall Inn, taken September 1969.

Stonewall riots

The sign in the window reads: "We homosexuals plead with our people to please help maintain peaceful and quiet conduct on the streets of the Village—Mattachine".[1] The Stonewall riots were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay community[note 1] against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City.

They are widely considered to constitute the single most important event leading to the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for gay and lesbian rights in the United States.[2][3] Very few establishments welcomed openly gay people in the 1950s and 1960s. Those that did were often bars, although bar owners and managers were rarely gay. FTM at Underworks. I Hugged a Man in His Underwear. And I am Proud.
