Trans

[close] A monthly bookclub for discussing, dissecting and appreciating queer erotica and literature, from highbrow novels to trashy romance. Note that as there is a lack of diversity in a lot of queer smut, we're happy to do book selections that may be queer-related but not smutty, and/or smutty but not queer (but at least diversely perverse). Happy reading! Header image via 'Fuck Yeah Queer Porn!'.

[close] Devoted to reading and discussing a range of dark and perverse literature from the early 20th century to today. Some writers that interest me are Genet, Musil, Aragon, Durrenmatt, Boll, O'Connor, Lagerkvist, Pelevin, Dennis Cooper, Samuel Delany, Lovecraft, Ballard, etc. I think these are all brilliant and transgressive thinkers. Junkies and sex-workers are obviously welcome as they tend to me more well read than most of us. And definitely more fun to drink with. My goal is to form a community of 'others' based on a common interest in dark and complex literature.

[close] It comes as no surprise that being LGBT or becoming involved in any sexually alternative lifestyles, promotes all sort of intolerance. We want to learn about the sources and bases of this phenomenon that permeates the lives of all of us. We want to learn about the historical and anthropolical foundations of innate sexual orientations, choices about how we live our sex lives, and how humanity has developed toward the place where "we" now find ourselves in the world. We even want to figure out ways to promote tolerance if we can. So our thought is that if we introduce ourselves to one another (to the extent we choose -- reticence concerning full self-descriptions most often stems from fear of intolerance) read, learn and discuss issues related to the many forms of intolerance, we might accomplish something positive. That is our hope. That is our mission. Please join is in our endeavor.
