CW: Spoilers: Crossing Jordan, 2x07

Connected to this, I want to share a little snippet that I love from a queer magazine in 2002. #CrossingJordan #TheAdvocate

"[...] Jill Hennessy, who played the lesbian character Lisa in the 1999 indie film Chutney Popcorn and now blurs gender boundaries weekly as velvet-voiced, sexy-yet-single coroner Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh. "My acting teacher used to say, `Gosh, you walk like a track driver,'" says Hennessy, who, like her TV heroine, was raised by her single father. "I guess I just learned that by being with my dad. I feel like the perception of what feminine is in this culture is so narrow," says the star. "That's why I was really happy to play a character who's not overly feminized. You know, somebody who could be misinterpreted. People might think, Well, what the heck's up with her? Is she gay, straight--does she have issuers? I like to keep them thinking.""

A Glossary of Gay Animals from The Advocate, July 26, 1979

(Note: this seems to be where the term "Bear" originated in gay culture — literally this set of descriptions by Gerard Donelan)

https://www.advocate.com/arts-entertainment/2016/7/26/when-advocate-invented-bears#rebelltitem1

> There seems to be some discussion about who actually coined the term "bear" as a descriptive for some gay men. Some claim it was Richard Bulger, who, along with his then-partner, Chris Nelson (1960–2006), founded Bear Magazine in 1987. Nope. It was us. Bulger and Nelson were smart enough to make a cottage industry of it.
>
> Arguably, the first usage was exactly 37 years ago by George Mazzei in his article "Who's Who at the Zoo?" in the July 26, 1979, issue of The Advocate. Beautifully illustrated by talented longtime Advocate illustrator and cartoonist Gerard Donelan, the article went on to blithley categorize other gay men and lesbians as types of animals in the zoo.

A secretly recorded conversation has exposed the dangerous and far-reaching plans being laid out by Russell Vought, a central figure behind Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation’s plan to reshape the federal government in a potential second term for former President Donald Trump in his image.
