I do what (and whom) I choose with my butt, and I want the whole world to know!

Well, that’s not necessarily true, but if it were, I’d finally have a forum to share TMI that didn’t cost $24.95 per month.

But now, it seems, I do!  In fact, I can finally scrape up the pride I [never] left curbside, among the chucked slushees and free condoms at the parade in P-Town, and do something with it.  I can help gay activist Trever Hoppe curate his new project, The Bottom Monologues.

“The Bottom Monologues is all about…telling gay/bi/queer/trans men’s stories about bottoms. As collaborators, we have some ideas about our own experiences, but we knew that to really do bottoms justice, we needed to get your stories straight from the tap.

What we want is your story. Unfiltered. And perhaps even uncut. Write a poem or a song. Stream of consciousness? Fantastic. Or even just plain old prose. Whatever style works best for you, works best for us!”

Not only is this a cleverly furtive approach to creating “gay” art without shying away from, y’know, graphic content (dicks in butts, y’all!), but it’s also refreshingly devoid of sensationalism.  Without being overly sensitive (read:  a lesbo) about it,  Hoppe is spearheading an idea — one that could, indeed, be considered precarious in its nature — with a sense of boy-next-door charm, thus denying it the type of naughty novelty flavor that free gay weeklies would kill to cover (if only The Bottom Monologues were stamped with a picture of a twink — eyebrows tweezed like the dickens — holding a book over his buttcrack and a pinky at the mouth).

But even more awesome about The Bottom Monologues is that they’re probably going to make Eve Ensler — the creator of The Vagina Monologues — reeeeeeally angry.
