Chicago Phoenix's 2012 Year in Review

From Chicago Phoenix: In 2012, there was no shortage of local LGBT community news and stories that impacted our lives. Everything from updates on the battle for marriage equality to queer activists protesting the NATO Summit in Chicago this summer; from political plots to pride parade coverage; from LGBT progress and advancements to community tragedy and loss — these stories will undoubtedly resonate with us into the new year. 

Due to the increase of followers that Project Queer has been getting as of late, I have decided to post a few reminders: Project Queer was created and is currently run solely by me - Riley Konor. I am a twenty-something year old white non-binary trans* guy who is queer in regards to my sexual orientation, gender identity, and sexuality. I do not have ask/submit boxes enabled, and I do not respond to fanmail. That being said, I DO sometimes respond to replies/comments on my posts - as well as inquiries sent to projectqueer@yahoo.com. 98% of Project Queer’s posts deal with queer, trans*, and gender non-conforming issues, culture, news, action alerts, intersectionality, art, entertainment, safe sex education/sex positivity, body positivity, and more. (This means some posts may be NSFW - not safe for work. The other 2% may be personal posts regarding my life and adventures. I add trigger warnings whenever appropriate. If I slip up, please do not hesitate to call me out on it so I can fix the issue and apologise. I also do not post gifs or other materials that may be harmful to some folks. While cisgender and straight allies are welcome here, please know that this blog is not FOR you. It is not about you. RESPECT QUEER, TRANS*, AND GENDER NON-CONFORMING SPACES.  Thank you for checking this out, following my work, and spreading the word! Cheers, Riley Konor P.S. If interested, I also run the following queer and trans-related blogs: Lovers in Transition (trans* and queer relationship, safe sex, help hotline, and resources blog - run with my girlfriend) Hot Queer Porn Fest (blog for Chicago’s first-ever queer and trans* porn festival 2013 - 18+) Riley Konor XXX (personal queer porn blog - 18+) Riley-FerretBoy-Konor (personal blog)

Project Queer

is having tumblr queue difficulties again.

My queue is full, but my posts are all off, and - for whatever reason - I am not able to add to the queue or post things from it now. I am hoping that this problem does not persist for long.

In the meantime, I am stockpiling all sorts of posts for the coming days, and posting the more ‘pressing’ news now.

Hope everyone is having a lovely day/night.

Cheers!

PROJECT QUEER

I just updated Project Queer’s queue all the way through this Saturday… with many more updates to come as the days go by.

Expect numerous videos, photos, sound clips, news articles and other resources regarding the queer community and our fight for human rights.

I must say that having the time to help educate, inspire, and motivate fellow queer activists is such an exhilarating feeling. I hope you all feel the same way and continue spreading the word.

Cheers, folks!! Have a lovely night/day,
