Xtra.ca – Aleisha Cuff
Vancouver – I’ll admit I winced when someone handed me a copy of the Dec 4 edition of Xtra West. Two men in bed, not exactly groundbreaking news for an LGBT paper.
Then I saw the title of the piece splashed across the photo: “Shifting Desires: How Trans People are Reshaping Same-Sex Attractions.” I winced again.
Truth be told I don’t read Xtra West very often. That’s not meant as a singular slight against the paper, I just don’t do many LGBT community things anymore. I don’t go to Pride parades, I haven’t been to a bar in years, and I rarely go to any other mainstream LGBT event.
