I'm glad that Chris mentioned Ira Craddock, who is one of my heroines. Her work in the 19th century would be considered radical even today. The death of this young landy is just the tip of the iceberg. There are so many people who suffer at the hands of left-wing and right-wing moralists. It is really time for us to have conversation about sexual expression, sexual desire and sexual reality in the Public Square. Deborah Jeane Pelfrey is in my thoughts and meditations. I think the way to honor Deborah Jeane's life is to keep organizing for the rights and dignity of all people to make choices about their sexual identity, sexual expression with judgement or reprisal. Adios, Deborah Jeane. You have fought the good fight for all of us. Even if you were not consciously fighting a political fight. I think it is vital that the fight become more obvious and more political. THE PERSONAL IS POLITICAL AND THE POLITICAL IS PERSONAL.
