Ignacio Rivera is awesome. The end.
There’s this really awesome person named Ignacio Rivera. Ze was, I believe, the keynote speaker at the 2009 MN Trans Health and Wellness Conference--the talk was called “Why Welfare Reform and Economic Justice are LGBT/Queer issues,” and it was really great. Rivera has a website (www.ignaciorivera.com)--it describes him as “a Black Boricua, Trans Multi-gender queer, economic and racial justice activist/performance artist.” Rivera’s facebook group says, “Ignacio Rivera is a Queer, gender-shifting, Trans- Entity, Black Boricua, lecturer, activist, filmmaker performance artist and sexual liberationist. Ignacio has shared their poetry, spoken word and storytelling for over 15 years. As a lecturer/ trainer, Ignacio has spoken on such topics of racism, sexism, homo/transphobia, transgender issues, trans 101, sexual liberation, anti-oppression, anti-violence, multi-issue organizing and more” (www.facebook.com/group.php). Anyway, Ignacio Rivera = amazing. They’re based in New York, I think. It was really interesting to hear about queer issues other than, you know, gay marriage and ending DADT and adopting kids and stuff like that (not that I’m against mainstream gay goals).
Anyway, Ignacio Rivera is one of the people I've been thinking about when it comes to current queer activists and less mainstream activism and stuff like that.
