The title of this blog comes from the book of essays by Jon-Henri Damski with the same title: dead/queer/proud (Firetrap Press, 2002).
Both titles arise from some obvious and not-so-obvious things. He is dead. He was queer and proud. As well, however, Damski took on a lot of fads, both in his former academic life and in his everyday, queer Chicago life. One of his favorite targets was the de-evaluation of the Classics, of which he was a scholar.
The point: this dead white guy was proud of the life he lived...
