Hi Danah,

I wish I had found this post earlier! This looks like it was a fanatstic event. Is there any possibility that it was recorded and turned into a youtube video or podcast?

How many times can my keywords of queer studies, social media intersect?

Cheers,
Chris

Tokyo may be as sophisticated as New York in someways but for LGBT people it’s still Kansas. There has been a lot of discussion in Tokyo recently about the fading of the LGBT night life district in Shinjuku, Ni-chome. Many people I know simply say that the internet makes it unnecessary because many social connections are formed online. This post has an interesting slant on how the district now caters to the more marginalized groups like cross-dressers. I wonder if this is true in the USA.

For those interested in this topic: I highly recommend “Out in the Silence,” a powerful film by my friend Joe Wilson, which is making the rounds at LGBT and other film festivals and will hopefully air on public TV nationally. It chronicles a gay teen battling homophobia in Oil City, PA – Joe’s hometown – and tells the story of what happened after Joe and Dean put their marriage announcement in the local paper.
