Every spring
Swarthmore College hosts
an unusual dance party known as "Genderfuck."
Students are expected to defy
normal gender standards by cross-dressing and/or wearing very little clothing,
which is always a fun & entertaining spectacle.
The dance is part of the Sager symposium, which is for Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Studies,
held every year to increase awareness about queer issues (with queer-focused lectures,
performances and social events).
My dorm, ML
(Mary Lyons), was a great place to be for Genderfuck this semester (spring
'97), as lotso folks dressed up for the event. Whenever something like this
happens, I'm quick ot whip out the camera. Thus you get the chance to get a
piece of the action and see a few of the pics!
These folks
are two of my dormmates: Victor is on the right, but I'd be risking my
life if I revealed the identity of the one on the left. S/he shall
remain anonymous.
