Coming Out of Heterosexism

Published in the Iowa State daily: June 17, 2007

All gays have coming out stories. They frequently say that they came out of the closet. I came out of a social construction that stated the only "normal" sexuality and the only "normal" gender is male or female. Therefore, I did not come out of the closet, I came out of heterosexism.

Their are those who will deny heterosexism does not exist, but they cannot deny the coming out stores of gay, lesbians, trans, bigendered, etc..

I will not apologize for anything!

Warning to NAGQ: Do not go back!

NAGQ is currently couch surfing. NAGQ had to say to the Judge, that NAGQ would move to get out of jail. Also, NAGQ is innocent of charges of violation of a stalking order. But, cannot get too detailed about the upcoming events where justice may be served. The stalking order cost NAGQ 29 days in jail. The stalking order was assisted by Reach CDC former manager Jamie Barton. During this time Reach CDC was under investigation for a gender discrimination complaint. Jamie Barton offered the only shred of evidence to this stalking complaint which consisted of a letter she wrote stating that the video camera placed me outside her door. She stated that she asked me to leave her door and to wait in the lobby for her to finish her gossiping about me to another resident. The fact that the fire alarm went off and she was called in from home for this alarm, she was in fact ignoring a fire alarm. The truth is that she was obsessed about ganging evidence about me because NAGQ recently made a complaint about several residents that Jamie Barton had an unprofessional relationship. This led to a criminal investigation of Jamie Barton by Portlands' Housing Authority.

After BOLI, a civil rights organization that is ran by the state, investigates the camera. The cameras is in the lobby not pointed at Jamie Baton's door which her letter to the judge described. When he questions the letter, he is told that the camera timed me when I passed through it again. Well their are two exits leaving Jamie Barton's door and NAGQ quite frequently walks up the back stairs which would not have been video taped. But this explanation was not given to the judge and a whole lot of information was missing for the letters that was called evidence.

So Reach CDC you are not that slick. I am scared of your tactics that is being supported by your friends also known as tenants of the Rose.

My friend Paul wrote:

Maybe I am enabling them by asking them to reflect on what they are doing . . . Giving them too much power. But, the fact is that I am genuinely concerned about your safety based on the kind of situation that is being stirred up. They are creating a situation in which any kind of violence towards you seems rational. This is quite frightening to me.


I want you to know I am not validating their claim by saying they can go through the proper channels if they have a grievance. I am just trying to suggest that they realize that there are choices other than projecting hatred as a group towards a single person. These processes are built in to insure that mobs don't get created like this - act irrationally - and hurt people. Actually, the fabrication by members of the building in order to get you placed in jail is an example of the action of this violence. It worries me . . .


Anyway, I just wanted to clarify. I don't want to support these people in any way, but I am more concerned with your safety than anything else.

Take Care,

Paul

NAGQ is bigger than LISA/LEE IACUZZI

NAGQ known as Not a Good Queer is bigger than Lisa/Lee Iacuzzi. I know I have been marginalized, castrated, by many people who did not think I was capable of putting such an amazing piece of media together.

The most important person responsible for my success is my sister Chris. My sister Chris is a chief paralegal at one of the largest law firms in personal injury in the state of New Jersey. She is amazing and wins all kinds of awards for her Congeniality. She wears a constant smile and has a big heart. She is an amazing person who is my biggest cheerleader in my life. Most great leaders,artists, and creators have people in their lives which helped then get through a "difficult time" until they were discovered or that they made their imprint on society. I hear these people talk about how their significant other or family members helped them get through a "difficult time" they traveled through to reach their success.

My sister Chris and like many people have called me an activist. They are correct in the description of who I am. An activists is an educator who is trying to send a message that is not well understood but through activism, will cause changes towards justice. Many of these people or groups are Love make a Family and Basic Rights Oregon and the many peace organizations who are working. Most activists are work for free, some are funded, and some are lucky enough to be trust-fund.

So declare NAGQ is bigger than LISA/LEE. I will stop signing my name to stories so future postings will only be authored as NAGQ'S.

Anyway, NAGQ is bigger than me and many "HUMANS" who are in my position who have been marginalized, understand and are quickly inspired to the "right thing". You could say that these people deserve to be marginalized but I think that many good gays have a backbone and believe in integrity.I was lucky to take several business law classes under my bachelors degree. I learned about the agent and agency relationship where employers are liable to what employees does and does not do.

I Do NOT CARE

I SHOW NO FEAR
They play-poker on
both sides
until one day
those sides
collide
to open the door
to another place
where justice
may take

This work is dedicated to all the HUMANS who believe in KARMA.
