A Gay Utopia, Finally

January 22, 2008

20080121_utopia_320x240.jpgA new website called Gay Utopia and subtitled “A Symposium on Sex and the Future” is now available for your interested and lengthy consumption. Here, you will find work by writers, activists, artists, comic creators, smutmakers and academics. It is all put together by Noah Berlatsky who defines his gay utopia thus, “The gay utopia is an imaginary future in which gender, sexuality, and identity are fluid and in which pleasure is unregulated by either external or internal censors. It's a place where taboos dissolve and sublimation vanishes; every relationship is erotic, every action sensual.”

We haven’t had time to peruse the entire contents yet, but we are already thrilled by Scott Treleaven’s art, Ursula K. Le Guin’s poetry, and the comics by Edie Fake, Ariel Schrag, and Dewayne Slightweight. If you’re sick of looking at airbrushed photographs of guys with great abs, this is a good place to start anew with a more subversive and radical queer consciousness. You can get your brain and your guts involved while still retaining the erotic elements.
