The Queer* Machine
KNOWhomo Question of the Week:
Let’s just say time travel exists. Let’s say it is safe and you can do it. The only catch, you have to return 48 hours after going somewhere.
Which historical/legendary moment/speech event would you attend? Which person would you hear speak? Which event would you try to prevent?
“At last we came to the Sheep Meadow, our feet hot and tired. I got to the crest of a small knoll before I turned around. There behind us, in a river that seemed endless, poured wave after wave of happy faces. The Gay Nation was coming out into the light! There was hardly a dry eye on the hill. What had begun as a few hardy hundred had swollen all along its route, until we filled half the huge meadow with the networks and newspapers estimated as five to fifteen thousand people, all gay and proud of it!” — Arnie Kantrowitz”

“On Wednesday, I went down to the courthouse to change my name. After all my research and apprehension, it was a very quick process. So I have written a lot about how to get your name changed. In Virginia, it is not a very hard process, most of the time not even requiring a hearing, just a signed order from a judge. Other states are more tricky. Here is a list of the laws and requirements by state.”
Personal Note
Hi Everyone,
I start my last summer of graduate classes on Monday. This summer will be a bit more intense than my last few semesters and will require much more attention than it has in the past. I will be setting queues up for the next few weeks and will not be checking in with KNOWhomo every day. It may take some time for me to respond to messages. I promise my attention will be pulled this way again after I settle into the summer routine.
Keep on, Keeping On!
