I’ve figured out my problem with the whole representation debate. It feels so capitalist. It’s taken for granted that buying the product, a book about gay people, actually does something to help gay people aside from the author. Or that buying a competing product means you don’t support the movement. If there’s any kind of moral imperative, I’m pretty sure it’s not about commodities.

Hmm. I guess I'll have to think about that. I feel like for me, reading has been a huge part of figuring stuff like that out. (And not just racism--queerness and such too.) But maybe different people learn from different things.
