Editor's Note: You've seen Steven Colbert's "Better Know a Lobbyist," but our version is so much gayer! Each weekend, we spotlight a different TBP contributor. In case you've missed any of our previous interviews, I've got links at the end of the post.This week we're talking with Paige Schilt. Paige is currently a Research Fellow for Soulforce, a national LGBT social justice organization dedicated to the principals of nonviolent resistance. She is also a dyke mama, a "low-femme" nerd, an activist, and a part-time professor of LGBT studies. Paige holds a Ph.D. in English and Cultural Studies from the University of Texas at Austin and has published scholarly articles on queer culture at the intersections of race and class, focusing on figures such as Richard Rodriguez, Isaac Julien, and Aileen Wuornos. She lives in Austin with her partner, Katy Koonce, and their son, who is named after a certain country music legend.
