Dear Friends and Colleagues

It has been an exciting summer for bustingbinaries.com.

Both of us are deeply engaged in bustingbinaries writing and organizing projects,and, this summer has opened up multiple opportunities for us to do this work and identify other binary busters along the way.

Before we tell you about upcoming projects, we want to highlight the new additions to our site over the past several months. The exciting submissions that we have added cover some very important issues from queer families to immigration rights. We also have added several submissions on the controversy surrounding World Pride which was to be held in Israel/Palestine this past August.

We thank Carmen Vazquez for submitting a piece entitled "Family" and Dulani for submitting a piece entitled "Border". Both of these pieces can be found on our Featured Writers page of the bustingbinaries blog.

We also thank Kerry Lobel and Julie Dorf for submitting their piece "Why We Can No Longer Look the Other Way" and Al-Fatiha Foundation for their brilliant open letter about World Pride.
Please spend some time with these important writings--it's well worth it.

We are also pleased to announce the publication of Erzulie’s Skirt, Ana Lara's debut novel. It will be available to the public on October 1st and is being published by the fabulous bustingbinaries website this fall for Ana's upcoming appearances. Most importantly, get a copy of the book!

Lastly, both of us have spent the summer working on bustingbinaries projects. Ana was in the Dominican Republic working on her second novel as well as a curricula for bustingbinaries.com. Look for that curricula on the site later this Fall. Lisa has been deeply engaged in developing deeper anti-oppression organizing work in the LGBT rights community—much of which is going to be reflected in some new content being rolled out at Creating Change, the premier national LGBT rights conference.

Don’t forget that our blog http://www.bustingbinaries.blogspot.com/ is always there for you to register your opinions, feedback and thoughts.

In solidarity,

Ana and Lisa
