Bringing two great tastes (wheelchairs, fags) that taste great together (see Factory Video’s Taboo), the University of California at Berkeley is sponsoring a symposium on the musical traditions of Krip-Hop and Homo-Hop. Like a rapping drag queen Cinderella with no feet, the two sub-genres of hip-hop, representing alternately the disabled and the dicked-down, will be freed from the sub-cultural margins for one magical evening. Homosexuals are the differently abled with better shoes, I guess.
The gay gimp-osium promises a night of magical wonders, including “quadriplegic emcees, gay Arab rap groups, documentary screenings, panel discussions, and live performances.” Don’t worry : not only is it wheel-chair accessible, it’s also free.
