I Have Found My Niche in the Gay Utopia

As our dear Mojo did make to mention on Friday, I have had the rare honor to be invited to particpate in Mr. Noah Berlatsky's Gay Utopia Symposium, along with some several dozen co-conspirators, including the noted science-fictionizing she-bear Ursula K. Le Guin, and noted pornographer Michael Manning.

From frere Berlatsky's press release:

The Gay Utopia is an online symposium devoted to exploring that ideal realm in which gender, sexuality, and identity dissolve. It includes poetry, artwork, comics, personal essays, reviews, fiction, drama, slash, and more by Ursula K. Le Guin, Jennifer Baumgardner, Dame Darcy, Johnny Ryan, Ariel Schrag, Julia Serano, Michael Manning, Matt Thorn, Neil Whitacre, Edie Fake, and a host of other contributors.

The forum covers an enormous range of topics,from early animation to Restoration romance novels, from horror films to shojo manga, from the kinship structure of ferns to the relationship between men and trucks. Some highlights are:

--Scott Treleaven classic 1997 essay on an unusual use for the orgasm

--Tabico's insect-sex-zombie apocalypse

--Paul Nudd's vile recipes for chutney

--Kinukitty on why teenage girls need more manporn

--gay utopia questions answered by a Giant Squid.

Incidentally, this forum has a fair bit of explicit adult content. Please proceed with caution if that seems advisable.

In other words, the Gay Utopia has something for everyone. Please come by and check it out: http://gayutopia.blogspot.com

I strongly urge all loyal Mojonauts to read not just my new, original, and previously unpublished advice column custom-crafted for Mr. Berlatsky's occasion, but all of the offerings prosaic, poetic, and graphic, offered for your edification, elucidation, and titillation. The anatomical schematics of Mr. Manning have proven especially popular with my staff, especially Mr. Rob Miller and my young typist Jarwaun.
