A Queer Question

Hi, Mark McCusker here.

I'm compiling Queer data.

I was inspired recently when an Arts Grant Panel said they were:

"Bothered by the use of the term "queer" in the application - one panelist didn't understand it wasn't derogatory."

I met with Iowa's department of Cultural Affairs and Arts Council to discuss the creation of Queer Iowa Artists and this piece A Queer Question.

We had meetings to discuss possibilities.

On Facebook I've made an event page called A Queer Question.

I've emailed folks and asked them "Can you help me with a Queer question?" and "What are your thoughts on Queer?"

I'd like your input.

What are your thoughts on Queer?

HERE ARE SOME RESPONSES
others forthcoming
