I'm gonna clear a space in society for you and me!
Hothead Paisan
ost of the content here is a collection of my Nihil Obstat columns from Xtra, a lesbian and gay magazine in Toronto. I stopped writing the column in early 1997, although I've written an article or two for them since. But Nihil Obstat will continue to be available here on the Web for those who get nostalgic...
I haven't yet put every column I've ever written up here, and probably never will -- many of the arts columns dealt with events that are long over, so unless they appear to have some kind of ongoing relevance, I'll probably give most of those a miss -- but the number that are online is slowly growing.
A few things worth noting:
- On a more mundane note, I don't have any record of the headlines these columns appeared under, as those were written by the editors, not me, and I haven't really kept track of them. I've been basically making up my own headlines as I've converted these, although in at least a few cases, I did use the actual ones.
- What I've been converting and uploading is the original versions of all these columns, before they were sent to Xtra's editors. In most cases, the differences between what you see here and the published versions are minimal, but it's worth noting nonetheless.
As with the other Wild Ideas libraries, I'm quite
open to submissions from other people for inclusion here. Thus far,
the Temple Library is the only one with any content not written by me,
but I'm hoping that will change. If you've written, or would like to
write, something you feel is appropriate for this section, please let
me know!
