Darn tests... (but they're on request!)

I might have been too quick with Priscilla, because I got a request for a more basic test first*. If you don't like the results, you can always try again here.

If now you are utterly confused, than this is probably the message: don't take your identity too seriously. Although that's easier said than done, because that's how western society is constructed at the moment...

That doesn't mean though that gay identity shouldn't be taken seriously (although of course it's just great fun at the same time), for as bell hooks (no capitals) has argued with respect to black identity: identity is a stage in a process of emancipation, wherein one constructs radical [gay/black] subjectivity, thus generating other options besides assimilation, imitation or rebellion: it is no fixed property, but a practical and historical (which means that it changes over time) tool in a political struggle. Identity-Politics...

Oh, and K.: if you're worried: have a look here. I'm sure it will reassure you! (I hope, but if not: I still love you!)

*Excusez-moi for the ads that make the unfounded assumption that the visitor (that's you) is a lesbian (oh, or a male heterophile of course).
