And the award goes to.......

Kerry Washington was given this years Vangard award by GLAAD. As someone who has always identified as a minority person (and you cannot get much whiter than I, unless you're either an ice blonde or an albino), her discussion of 'otherness' really speaks to me. As long as we who are identified as the other, allow the powered elite to continue to play people of color against the LGBT communities against women against linguistic minorities against the disabled, etc. we will remain fractious and powerless.

Is it not time for those of us who are the other to really embrace E Pluribus Unum?
