Obaaberima: Girly-Boy  

Posted by: MetAnotherFrog Admin    Tags:  , , , ,     Posted date:  September 28, 2012  |  No comment



MS. BLUE Moved. Deeply so. That's how I felt as I slowly lifted my body out of my seat after the lights went up at the end of Obaaberima(a Ghanaian term that means girly-boy). The play chronicled the life of a young Ghanaian man, as he slowly and at times reluctantly comes to terms with the duality of his complex sexual identity. (I’m not going to go into much more detail about it’s premise here as I don’t want to spoil if for you. But if you’re really curious...

Full Frontal Nerdity, Vol. 27

CHARLIE This week Full Frontal Nerdity returns after an extended break. Apologies for the unforeseen absence, but I have a typically controversial topic as penance to kick things back off with. How is homosexuality portrayed in the Bible? There are a number of mentions in the Old Testament, and absolutely none whatsoever in the New Testament. So anyone who is wondering “What Jesus said” can be reassured that Jesus said absolutely nothing about it. So any placard waving evangelical types can rest easy that Jesus had no problem at all with same...

Friends vs. Family

ELIZABETH ROSE The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. ... The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react...

One Love, One Heart: A Little Sex And Dating, Jamaican Style

SAM SHARPE I was born in Jamaica. And though I came to Canada at a young age my mother has never let us forget where we came from. Regular visits to the island, coupled with regular reminders that living in Canada didn’t necessarily translate to being Canadian reinforced in my siblings and I an affinity for and acceptance of Jamaican cultural norms and values as superior to those of our adopted country. For my mother we may have become (eventually) Canadian citizens but my siblings...

CHARLIE Natural Family Planning or NFP is an umbrella term for a number of techniques taught by the Catholic Church as a form of contraception. (Some hippies choose this as well as a “natural, holistic manner.”) As you may imagine it’s a bit of a hot topic in some circles. Quick View QuickView | Read Full Article

SKYE BLUE So we’re in the final days of Losing My Religion (aka sex and religion) month, and it took until now for me to get my act in gear so I could bring what I’ll call an alternative perspective to you all. For the better part of this month you’ve heard from people who moved away from religion to experience sexual freedom, individuals highlighting the sexually repressive...

Ms. Reformed Catholic Schoolgirl

A Guest Post by HELENE When the lovely folks here at Met Another Frog asked me to contribute to their discussion of sex and religion, as a former Catholic schoolgirl, I was only too happy to oblige. Since those days, I've discarded my plaid skirts, cable-knit knee socks, and saddle shoes. They may have made a brief reappearance for a few themed parties in college, but it's been a long time since I was plagued with the Catholic guilt and inexplicable...

CHARLIE Religion and sex. Were they always so divorced from one another? These days religion seems to set out to limit sexual experience to a type (missionary) or a union (marriage). Has this always been the case? We've investigated the Kama Sutra (here, here and
