Leslie Feinberg

Last night I went to see Leslie Feinberg give a lecture at VPL. I can't think of a better way to spend my last evening as a 27 year old. I feel blessed to have been able to be a part of listening to such a powerful, dedicated individual. Years ago when I first read Leslie's novel Stone Butch Blues it gave me a feeling of a sense of place in the community as a non-butch, but not really femme but a queer dyke,lesbian. Stone Butch Blues is an incredibly important piece of history and I think it should be required reading in all classrooms. Leslie has also written Transgender Warriors: Making History from Joan of Arc to Dennis Rodman, and Transliberation: Beyond Pink and Blue. Leslie is a national leader of the Worker's World Party and the founder of Rainbow Flags for Mumia. Leslie is an activist who works to forge bonds between the Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Trans communities.

Instead of me blabbing on and on... Endlessly, I urge everyone who has come across this post to visit Leslie's website and spend some time there... Thanks.
