A Fascinating Story About Queer Theory, Religion, And Identity

Once upon a time, Michael Glantze was a gay-rights and queer activist in San Francisco. He was a big part of XY magazine, and a fierce believer that religion and spirituality was telling young gay kids that they weren't worth shit. Well, things have changed. Over a dozen years later and he's in bible school in Wyoming and writing conservative, Christian bullshit on WorldNetDaily. He believes that gays are totally misled and that we live in a cave. And you don't know how dark it is in a cave until you get out of it. Right. Well, READ THE WHOLE STORY and see for yourself. Here's a poem the Dartmouth grad once wrote (that I actually love) and a photo of him as a young twink:

I Solemnly Swear,
Never to tell the Scoutmaster.
Never to tell the others. Never to let such
Knowledge leave this tent, Never to acknowledge you
Again, Never to tighten your handkerchief again, Never to
Look in your eyes again, Never to race soapbox derby in
The sand with you again, Never to read Whitman as you
Cuddle till you sleep, Never to creep, carefully to the lake
With you again, Never to take wildflowers
To your tent again, Never to cry for you again, Never to tie
Knots in each other’s hair,
Never to breathe your air,
Never to touch your inner thigh,
Never to catch your stare.
Never to be two boys together, clinging.
Never to dare.
