ultimately a way of avoiding The Issue, which IMO is class.

Well, since the identity my husband and I share have brought each of us at various times close to being killed, I must disagree with your assessment of identity politics as being a pet issue (though if you see queer lives as being no more than a pet concern your position makes perfect [non]sense).

Now, I know some had trouble with me not understanding the appeal of "The Sopranos," but I am even more baffled by the failure of people to understand that being queer in the year 2007 can cost you your life.

What don't you people get?
