"#Returning, #NicholasLemann’s eloquent, achingly honest account of life within a tightly knit #German-#Jewish subculture whose collective response to #antisemitism was to fixate on fitting in with #gentiles. So axiomatic was the #NewOrleans community’s #assimilationism, and so profound its disdain for Eastern #European #Jews, that #Lemann never tasted lox until after he left home for college. And yet, well into adulthood, Lemann reevaluated, and rejected, the tradeoffs of his family forebears, in favor of a #kosher home, membership in a #minyan and #Shabbat observance.
Hence the #book’s title. Hence, too, its element of surprise: This deeply personal story is not what you might expect from Lemann, a practitioner of cool-headed “neoliberal” policy #journalism in its 1980s heyday, who went on to become a #NewYorker staff #writer, dean of the #Columbia #Journalism School and #author of four books on U.S. political and social #history."

Every time with these #gay-not-#queer people. Of course he's a transphobe and a #Zionist.
When you jump onto the queer-is-a-slur bandwagon, these are the people you're sitting next to. And the rest of us are going to judge you by the company you keep.

I think we should boycott queer spaces that repress and exclude those of us that have #intersectional identities. The practice of throwing other outgroups under the bus, for the sake of "looking more normal," is a scam.
Those that are in power are just going to the same groups and playing the same game, telling them, "You seem to be cool. I might be willing to support you but ONLY if you keep out those other riff-raff."
