25. How and Why I Came Out as Pan/Poly/Kinky on my Law…
2 years ago
In this KinkForAll Providence presentation, Marty, Brown University Alumn (Class of 2008), reads from his impassioned graduate college application personal statement. "One reason I have chosen to out myself is to legitimize my identity and the identities of those I care about," he says. By the end of obtaining his linguistics undergraduate degree at Brown University, Marty was already an accomplished sexuality freedom advocate. While in high school, he started a date-rape awareness theatre troupe, he helped found and run an ongoing male sexuality workshop at Brown University, and wrote a sex education and advice column for a local newspaper. Now, he works at Planned Parenthood in Boston and volunteers for Men Against Sexism.

    That was a pretty powerful personal statement to send with the school applications - I can see why it would be important for Marty to do so, as it does serve to legitmize his identity, (something everyone needs). I wish I could have been a fly on the wall for those admissions board meetings - when they passed that statement around! (you know they did so with wide-eyed surprise) Kudos Marty - I hope you get into one of those schools.
