A "Side B Manifesto" for Pride Month and Beyond
I've thought a lot about writing a manifesto for Side B people. In fact, I've written multiple drafts of a manifesto for a few years now, but I've never been satisfied with the result.

So, here it is...an incomplete rough draft of the Side B Manifesto.

Nonetheless, with our YOBBERS retreat coming up I needed to put aside my negativity as best I could.
