Sense Project

Bash this, Bozo! is a blog that’s all about supplying important stuff about bashings and homophobia to the community. Of course, this also means that the community needs to participate so as to keep the content fresh. After all, the idea is to have an online space where information on bashings is collected and updated regularly so that these types of incidents don’t occur in silence and secrecy. It’s a way of keeping track of things - of seeing if whether or not certain bashings are the result of random acts or of more organized efforts.

The blog offers a Gallery of Stories, a Gallery of Resistance and a Gallery of Links. In the Gallery of Stories, you will find a variety of stories and comments pertaining to bashings and homophobia. It’s a safe space where creative ways of opposing violence can comfortably co-exist. And, I can attest to the fact that everything that has been posted so far is worth a read. On the other hand, the Gallery of Resistance is a space for everyone to suggest different ways of approaching the bashing/homophobia issue. And, the Gallery of Links is where you will find articles pertaining to bashings.

The bottom line is that this blog is simple and easy to use which means that people can gain access to helpful and empowering info and stories seamlessly. That being said, it’s still relatively new which means that there isn’t a lot of content…yet. Yup, that’s right; blogs like this rely on people being comfortable enough to post their stories/suggestions/links online. And, if you want to stay anonymous, you can always e-mail bashthisbozo@gmail.com and they will post your stuff for you.

So, check out and contribute to Bash this, Bozo!
