Sasha: Safety and the sexual fetish

Dear Sasha,

I have the unfortunate enjoyment of a very painful fetish. I enjoy being kicked/kneed/otherwise struck in the groin by women whom I find attractive. I don't mean CBT, with its overly gentle flicks and pokes. I mean doubled over or down on my knees and/or making funny noises because some hot thang let loose on my manhood.

If she does it in the new shoes we picked out together, all the better.

Pride Toronto honourees return their awards

It was more like a queer party than a mid-morning press conference at the 519 Community Centre.

Inside the auditorium, over 100 people gathered as former Pride grand marshals, honoured dykes and award recipients returned their accolades after Pride Toronto banned the term “Israeli apartheid” from its 2010 events.

The audience burst into thunderous applause and rose from their chairs for a standing ovation that lasted almost a minute when Elle Flanders introduced “The 21 Refuseniks” on Tuesday.

Pride Toronto ban on QuAIA worst case of censorship in history of parade, says Queer Ontario founder

After extensive lobbying of Pride Toronto, corporate sponsors and city officials by Martin Gladstone and right-wing Jewish groups, Pride Toronto's Board decided, by a vote of 4 - 3, to disallow the use of the term "Israeli Apartheid" at the 2010 Pride festivities. At a press conference in Toronto on May 25, 2010, Pride Toronto's Executive Director and several Board members were met by 150 outraged protesters chanting "Hey, hey! Ho, ho! Censorship has got to go!", "Politics are what makes pride, we won't run, we won't hide", "Whose pride? Our pride! Queers against Apartheid!", and "Resign!"

Decision to ban use of 'Israeli Apartheid' angers gay rights activists

Over 100 protesters showed up at a Toronto Pride press conference Tuesday to voice their displeasure after the Board of Directors voted last week to forbid the use of the term ‘Israeli Apartheid’ at this year’s Pride Parade.

“We feel that’s a huge step back for pride,” said Tim McCaskell, an organizer with Queers Against Israeli Apartheid (QuAIA). “We’ve never had groups censored at Pride before. The term ‘Israeli Apartheid’ conveys a message which is enormously important for the queer community to understand.”
