Yes! Felt the same when reading an NYT oped about reforming the NEH where the author said derisively, “Without queer theory in the academy in the 1990s, the Supreme Court’s Obergefell and Bostock decisions, which extended rights & protections to gay & transgender people, might not have happened.”

Do you have any new tips/thoughts on how to contest the cancelation via eGMS, especially now that we know that so many NEH staff have been put on leave? Got the junk mail termination letter like so many others and trying to figure out next steps.

Carol spoke to this a bit during the panel—how it seems that he gets a lot of his homophobic readings from one of his close associates.
