On the TaLL Show, 7/1/09: Obama meets the GLs — and the BTs?
Thanks again to the TaLL gals for letting me talk about the lack of Bisexual and Transgender representation at the President’s reception for GLBT activists. I’ll be on the show again Wednesday, July 8th to talk about my letter to Rea Carey, executive director of the Gay & Lesbian Task Force.
Ron Suresha returns to our show to talk about the President’s reception for the GLBT community and the underrepresentation of the B and T in the national discourse. We talk about queer equality as the national civil rights movement of our age. …
Ron Jackson Suresha is an editor, anthologist, and writer. He is considered an authority on emergent queer masculinities, in particular the subcultures of gay and bi male Bears and of male bisexuality.
For Ron's service to the bear community, he was named "Bear of the Year" 2008.
Born in Detroit, Michigan, Suresha attended the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, 1976-8), where he studied creative writing, and Vista College (Berkeley, Cal., 1989-92), where he studied American Sign Language. For more than two decades, he has worked as a freelance proofreader for trade book publishers such as Shambhala Publications. He was married in October 2004 to Rocco Russo. He is also a licensed Justice of the Peace in Connecticut, an ordained minister, ULC, and a member of the New London Green Party.
Nonfiction works include Bears on Bears: Interviews & Discussions; Bi Men: Coming Out (coeditor, with Pete Chvany); Bisexual Perspectives on the Life and Work of Alfred C. Kinsey (editor).
His latest book is The Uncommon Sense of the Immortal Mullah Nasruddin: Stories, jests, and donkey tales of the beloved Persian folk hero, published by Lethe Press.
