Presenter Motivational/Cultural StorytellingOhio Humanities 2024 Speakers Bureau Jan 2024 - PresentColumbus, Ohio Metropolitan Areahttps://www.ohiohumanities.org/speaker/luster/“Difficulty and Strife?”: Race and Gender in Appalachian OhioThe stereotype is that growing up in the rural Midwest as anything other than a straight, ‘white-cultured’, conservative, God-fearing Christian is to knowingly invite “difficulty and strife” into one’s life. And yet, Singleton is here to share history and experiences that supersede these narratives of doom and gloom. Existence in a place they refer to as ‘the Queer’s Queer’ empowered them to be a fact seeker and truth-teller. His story is purposefully raw and vulnerable, mixed with hilarity and joy, as only he can tell it.Rhetoric of the Rainbow: Living Between the Gay Movement & Civil RightsIn the early 2000s, LuSter disclosed their long-time struggle with finding a place of belonging within the so-called “gay movement” and the civil rights movement. With both having supported or encouraged notions of gender binaries, misogyny, transphobia, and racial fetishization, Singleton found it difficult to get fully ‘settled’ in either camp. Singleton shares this history to engage discussions on cancel culture, Black Lives Matter, and disappearing lesbian visibility and asks whether history is repeating itself.
