With the success of the Lambda Literary Award-winning I Do/I Don’t: Queers on Marriage, Suspect Thoughts Press has launched the Queers on series. Like its predecessor, Sodom & Me: Queers on Fundamentalism includes essays, poems, short stories, novel excerpts, performance piece excerpts, cut-ups, epigrams, zingers, comedy monologues, sermons, rants, diatribes, and jeremiads, from an amazing and incredibly diverse group of authors, poets, and activists. Queer Muslims, Jews, Christians, Two-Spirits, pagans, Buddhists, atheists, and agnostics write about how we can make our way--even stay alive--in a world where, to the majority, we are the children of the damned: the children of Sodom and Gomorrah (that’s several billion believers right there)--or the cultural equivalent.

From "Queer Freaks: Why Legalizing Sodomy Is Just Political Foreplay" by Patrick Califia. In June 2003, when the Supreme Court decided, in Lawrence v. Texas, to decriminalize sex acts that people have been doing ever since they had genitals and other orifices, I was as happy as any other AmeriKKKan queer. San Francisco’s gay pride parade followed soon after, and the city was full of delirious fags and dykes, bisexual (speak it under your breath) men and women, and even those do-they-have-to-be-so-obvious transgendered people (?Well, you can’t call them men or women, can you? say the gym-toned gay Democrats and the lesbian soccer moms), celebrating the good sense of our highest court. All of them far too stoned to follow such a long sentence. Like Nancy Reagan, I just get high on life, so maybe I’ll get invited to help her change Ronnie’s diaper. Anything’s possible now that I’m no longer a sex offender. Frankly, I didn’t think I would live long enough to see this much sexual sanity in the United States of Gunpowder and the Indian reservations it made possible. Especially not under the reign of failed energy magnate George W. Bush. Maybe the Supremes felt that they owed us something for letting Bush steal the election? My dance of gratitude falters, because I very much fucking doubt it. While the rest of you laugh at Dubya for not being able to find Weapons of Mass Destruction in Iraq, I will fortify myself with a frappucino from the Sodomites? Starbucks at 18th and Castro, and hope this should-be-bankrupt, dude-ranch cowboy will have an equally difficult time finding our very own WMD. How do you say, "Put down the red telephone? in Korean? Bitter, table for one! Or two, since you’re here now. Stick around, I’ve already ordered for both of us. Service is slow, which is odd when you think about how many self-proclaimed bottoms there are in this town, so let me throw out a few conversation stoppers while we’re all chipper enough to deserve a chewing-out. I’m a queer freak. I’m a promiscuous, bisexual, female-to-male transsexual and a sadomasochist. Do you mind if I grope your ass, lick your ear, and whisper, ‘since my dick isn’t long enough to go up somebody’s ass, is it at all helpful to me to know ass fucking is now as legal as taking fertility drugs to conceive a litter of southern Baptists?
