...great to want to develop profound affective bonds, monogamous relationships, and everything else that Cliff Davidson and Alex Boni-Saenz claim we are trivializing. It's also great to just want to "Enjoy cock," "Have a golden shower today," "Cuff a friend" or yes (horror of horrors) even "Taste Menses." Why are these sexual behaviors sensationalistic, trivializing and fundamentally indecent? As a co-chair committed to recuperating pathologized sexualities and gender identities, I am not willing to re-closet those of us who fall outside monogamy. Public visibility is a small, initial step toward avowing these privately popular but publicly...
...that we are putting words in closeted students' mouths. Ironically, though, these students haven't even spoken, yet. They may not yet be ready to speak, yet we attempt to lure them out of the closet with posters that portray lesbian sex and read: "We don't enjoy cock at all." And then, to make matters worse, we claim to be speaking for them, to be representing those who cannot represent themselves.

One of Mease's own defense lawyers admitted: "Quite frankly, this case was probably one of the weaker clemency cases...There were no real claims of mental illness, no question of guilt. It was a triple murder. He had one argument dealing with post-traumatic stress from Vietnam, but really he had a snowball's chance in hell...
...sound of the moment is the screaming piha, a dull brown-gray bird whose sex appeal lies in its voice--specifically a three-syllable whistle that cuts through the air. As a mate getter it is evidently as attractive as the brilliant orange-and-black plumage of the cock of the rock, the cock of the walk of Suriname's birds. We catch sight of one preening on a high branch. Its head has a flattened crest that looks like a fan from the side, with an eye at bottom center. It makes its nest on the sides of rocks...
