About

What's the deal with your nickname? How did you get it? If your nickname is self-explanatory, then tell everyone when you first started using the internet, and what was the first thing that made you say "wow, this isn't just a place for freaks after all?" Was it a website? Was it an email from a long-lost friend? Go on, spill it.

I cowrote a book! "The American LGBTQ Rights Movement: An Introduction." Free download here: https://digitalcommons.humboldt.edu/textbooks/2/


'Goofyfoot' was what a left-foot-forward skateboarder was called in Dogtown when I was growing up. Or so I thought - maybe I was goofyfoot in my understanding.
