Write off Discrimination - The Contributions

Writing about discrimination is just as daunting as fighting it. But a few of our bloggers have taken the cudgels. Here they are:

Kiks dissects discrimination.

Mel Beckham hopes for something better.

Tobie gives his take on bisexuality.

Richie laments about pride and prejudice.

Désolé Boy tells the tale of a pink-laden land.

Melanie challenges.

Rocky slaps the wrist on internal discrimination.

Justin puts the D on discriminate.

Mu[g]en discriminates.

And Red tells us we are multifarious.

No one is ever too late to confront discrimination. And no one is ever too late to discuss it.

Magical 50

The emotionally hungry Mykt2s.

The I-understand-and-wish-to-continue Manila Raunch.

That bad news Davaoenio they call J.

The phenomenal Lyka.

They are the four that made it to the magickal 50 bloggers. Them 50 bloggers who have outted themselves interested in theorgy's first collective blogging experience.

Calling on creative writer Rogerick Fernandez to give us a seanc-e about his blog address for you to make it to the fifty-first.

As for everyone, including those who are still wanting to join, the instructions are simple:

a) Email us your post within August 31 including a picture of you that you may want us to place right beside your entry. All entries e-posted to this will be published on the first few hours of September 1.

Do schedule the posting of your entries at exactly 12 midnight of 09/01/10 so we can come-out simultaneously.

For those with already-published entries, we will just place the link but do still come up with something in your blog so all your followers, lovers and stalkers would know that you did come out.

b) As soon as you post your entry on September 1, email us your link pronto.

c) Those who just decided to join today, you are never late like Nora.

d) The email address is, you know it, theorgyblog@gmail.com.

e) If all our explanations do not satisfy, go back to the first post, marys.

COME OUT!

There is a theory about the Filipino gay - he does not take his issues quietly.


He speaks his mind, whether in class, in a rally or possibly a bar. Or, he simply becomes good at what he does.

And these days, he blogs.

That’s why we (yes, there are many of us) thought we should have this:

Theorgy – a collective blogging experience for all g-bloggers. In this blog, we hope for each g-blogger to write about a common issue and publish his post here and/or in his own blog.

It's a collective thing, albeit an occasional one. Consider it a spur of the moment thing when all g-bloggers just decided to hold a grand EB (so yahoo messenger days) and talk about one ispecifique thing.

And why do we do this?

a) So that we get to read bloggers who may think like us or who can challenge us.

b) So that we can be read hence, creating traffic.

c) To simply express and have fun.

Convinced much? If you are, read on:

1. On September 1, we will all publish our own take on one given topic. In our native tongue: dapat sabay tayo (pun intended).

2. First topic on the board - Coming Out. Time to flex those brain muscles, stretch them tongues on why we came out or why we didn't. Or why we don’t need to. For those of us who think why it is important, or for those who think it isn't. In the fashion of The Vagina Monologues, we will have our own take on this.

3. You can write in English or Filipino. Pwede ring mag-gayspeak.

4. So if you're interested, comment on this, place the logo in your blog, and write away. (WHY THIS? So you can be included in this blog and publish your post on that date.)

5. And yes, spill. Spread the word.
