New Bedford Too Religious, Not ‘Gay Enough’ To Be Creative

Is New Bedford Arts and Culture Gay Enough?” asks Steven Froias in a column in the Fall River Herald News. He adds: “The headline and phrase aren’t simply clickbait.”

What’s the problem?

The city of New Bedford isn’t spending enough money on funding queer culture to encourage artistic creativity, Froias says.

“If queer culture and public arts education won’t be funded, respected, or supported by the city, we will never be the arts community people think we are,” he quotes one observer as saying.

Once ‘they’ ruin the line ‘not gay/black/etc/ enough’ ‘they’ will move on to ‘TOO GAY/BLACK/etc’.

You can hang some people with a new rope and they will find something to complain about.

First off what’s with the use of the word “queer”? I know they use it, but really?

Homosexuality used to be the love that dared not speak its name. Now it’s the love that won’t shut the **** up.

That is based on Richard Florida’s “creative class” theory, which has been widely criticized. Florida, whose friends on the left attacked him for promoting gentrification, deindustrialization, and inequality, has been rethinking things lately.

Provincetown in 70 miles away. Surely there is enough funding and appreciation of the gay, queer ethos there to cover the rest of SE Massachusetts. Maybe the rest of New England...

#32. Is that where the item “Codpiece” was originally from?

[T. Rustin Noone]

Nope. When you think “codpiece”, think Shakespeare. But you may not be far from the truth.

Wasn’t their last big creation the AIDs epidemic that nearly wiped out civilization back in the 80’s?
