How do these roles limit us? If we could get out of these roles, what kind of folks would we like to be? <br><br> What does it mean to be intersex and\/or trans\/ and\/or genderqueer in patriarchal cultures? What does it mean to be lesbian, bisexual, or gay in patriarchal cultures? <br><br> How do we go about answering these questions? <br><br> Through presentation, dialogue, and performance we hope to broach these questions with intellect and emotion, furthering an understanding of ourselves and the complexity and interconnectedness of oppressions.  <br>  <br> <\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"http:\/\/www.againstpatriarchy.org\/","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"January 24 - 26, 2003\r\nEugene, Oregon\r\n* Free and open to everyone! *","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2002\/12\/23846.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
