[stylist] FW: LGBTQ REVISITED

Thu Mar 27 17:07:48 UTC 2014

Katie, with increasing knowledge about genetic developments, or lack
thereof, and the way the courts are increasingly even identifying acts of
violence sometimes genetically influenced, and with the fact that there is
no longer just heredity and environment, but an indivisible human being
mixed  equally of both, I do not doubt the questioning.
I think I feel a poem coming on. What if in the future, we have the entire
alphabet to memorize so that we do not offend anyone?
Might it be possible in the future to do away with all labeling and just get
to know someone and see if we like them?

Hi Jackie, 

father second Q insane questioning. Some people might be questioning
their gender identity and or sexual orientation, so they might identify
as questioning.

LGBTQ REVISITED I AM STILL REVISITING ALL THE E-MAILS I MISSED. Well, I
enclosed my few about spiders. I have had a hard time remembering the
meanings of all these letters, but I have one or two poems that might nibble
on the edges. I have known many gay men, some fellow teachers, two of whom
adopted. Quite amazing for Arizona. Better parents I never knew. I also
found that my Great Aunt Dora, a heroine of mine throughout my life, left a
letter when she died asking that her headstone be placed next to another
woman's headstone, and a tender letter was enclosed. A very attractive
woman, she refused offers of marriage, and beca
 me the
Librarian at Upper Iowa University. When she retired after fifty years, an
old beau asked her again, and she again refused. Years after this mystery,
an answer. Then, some years ago, I saw a movie with a Chinese title about a
drag queen. It starred the dancer who also starred in ghost, and it was
hilarious. I also visited a friend in San Francisco, and went first to a
place to eat and see the belly dancers. Then we went next door and saw
endless men in drag. I had to write about a man with a mother that could be
me, and his wife and child who could be my daughter-in-law. Other than my
imagination, I don't have a lot of knowledge, except my scientific-based
beliefs, that is most developments take place in the womb, and sometimes are
highly influenced also by environments that cannot help but magnify or turn
the tide to an already genetic pattern. Now that I think of it, I have three
poems that touch in some way on one or another of these "letters." I suggest
that you read this
  first
line by line, and spell out the few words that are not phonetic, then read
it a second time with insert, down arrow. It is long, 73 lines. I submitted
it to Georgia for several years, since I understood it to be the drag queen
capitol of the U.S., but it must have offended someone to claim it as part
of their history. It is a marathon of rhyming, and if you do not hear it,
the format has not remained true. Category 4 Jacqueline Williams Expressing
Beliefs In All Ways 1431 W. 7th Place Mesa, AZ 85201 480-834-1782 The
Evolution of a Drag Queen "My Mother, nothing comes to mind to extricate me
from my bind." Athletic honors, throwing shot and javelin were surely not
the skills that now will make up for a youth I wasted. I foreswore the
effort facing learning times, realities and saving dimes. All those awards
led me astray until too late, though I must say the medals for my
breaststroke swims left me big "pecs" and long strong limbs. I had a decent
resume before I lost my job. F
 oul play
robbed goals set by my love and me for newborn son, cast them asea. "My son,
I'll think about it soon." So often, Mom, I've heard this tune. You'll wear
your gowns and gaudy rings to hifalutin social things. Oh, wait, my quite
majestic mom, so tall, so buxom, such aplomb. Ideas brew-a rushing tide.
I'll find a conquest for my bride. You gone, your spikes upon my feet, I
walk and fall and still repeat a practice that becomes my code, a perfect
imagery, the mode. I've got the walk, now what to do to make the perfect
witch's brew that causes me to light the flame? Please bring me soon to
newborn fame. My wife's peach-pink scant underpants inspire an undulating
dance. While she, adored, earns great big bucks, I hold the bottle my son
sucks. As "Mister Mom," I take him here and there and now it's everywhere.
The beauty parlor-such a place! He always grins his funny face. We hang out
as a winsome pair. The ladies think us both quite fair. As one beautician
holds him tight, another 
 makes my
eyes shine bright. Eye shadow, glitter, wigs all glow. My heart beats fast.
My wife will know the depth of love I feel for her. Oh, dear, my makeup must
not blur. I slowly roll my thigh-highs up- the jet-black net-oh, quite
corrupt. My mom and wife will meet for dinner. I pray that they will see a
winner. Mother, son and dearest one arrive all laughing, full of fun- awash
in new-felt wonderments at rainbow fans on fundaments. They do not know I'm
here, you see, cast eyes at entrance doors. Oh me. The drum roll comes and I
sashay the runway, not one hair astray. Bestowing smiles on all alike-
arched eyebrows, winks, I pass my tyke with arms outstretched and then he
knows his "Mommy" right down to my toes. And now when all is said and done,
with kudos to my lovely one, she must compete with all those droves who
bring me gifts and treasure troves of drag queens-past and present tense. I
hope that I'll maintain the sense to build a future-one to see- that's free
of fear and bigot
 ry.
