ABOUT THE EDITOR:

Shaun Bartone is a a cultural activist who practices engaged dharma as a humanist spirituality. Shaun is an independent dharma scholar with fifteen years experience in meditation and dharma study.

I want to extend the free and liberal use of this blog to queer people of every stripe who do not have a voice in mainstream Buddhist organizations. Those of us who have been silenced and unrecognized will speak here with a powerful voice.

As editor, I retain the right to select and edit which stories are published. I actually prefer longer pieces that are original, well-written and well-researched. I welcome photographs, poems, short and long prose.  I also really like stuff that’s funny, off-beat, creative, personal, passionate and hard-hitting. I just can’t pay you for anything. There are no exclusive publishing requirements on this site; you can publish here and elsewhere as you like.
