Today I was called "unemployable entitlement slime" for joining the Occupy Portland movement in Portland, Oregon even though I am college educated (though deeply in debt for it) with a solid employment history and have paid my taxes. I am not lazy. I am tired. I am part of the 99%.

I'm an unabashed cinephile and have been following Roger Ebert's blog for some time. I enjoy his writing and appreciate his advocacy on many progressive issues. He has called out Sarah Palin and her death panel lies and eloquently made the case for universal health care. Now he is making observations on the American education system in light of two recent documentaries that he's seen, and his conclusion seems to be that teacher's unions stand in the way of necessary and common sense reforms. While he acknowledges that we do have good schools and heroic teachers, the system overall is failing.

Since Rachel Maddow did such a great job today calling attention to the reparative therapy movement and revealing it for what it is, I thought I'd share parts of a paper I wrote on the same topic for a sexualities course. This will be my first diary and I hope it provides insight into the ex-gay movement and its practices. Apologies in advance if this diary lacks proper formatting or editing. Anyway, enjoy! I hope somebody finds this useful.
