Queer New Year Resolutions

Kathi Wolfe over at the Washington Blade shares New Year's Resolutions with us. What caught my eye was the preface to the resolutions, which includes this moment:

Oscar Wilde, the quintessential queer, knew [our resolves don't last long]…. [He said,] "Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account," he said.

"The only way to spend New Year's Eve is either quietly with friends or in a brothel," the gay poet W.H. Auden said about spending Dec. 31 agog in resolutions.

So in some sense I shouldn't be surprised to find this in the list of resolutions:

When a "progressive," hetero poet says I should treat my queerness as a "teachable moment," I won't sigh and turn away from her. It gets old fast, but as long as there is homophobia, we queers will be placed in the role of "educators."

What are your New Year's Resolutions? Or do you think it's all a bunch of bollocks!

Hope everyone is looking forward to a bright 2011.  Watch this space for some personal news about where 2011 will find me.
