Patrick Califia has been pushing the boundaries of queer culture for a couple decades now. Committed to opening up new choices, he advocates for change and expands  awareness of lives lived on the margins of queerdom,

Califia works as a sex educator, writer, activist and therapist in private practice in the Bay Area, where he lives with his partner Jakob. In early November, he'll be making his way to Ottawa to present a couple of workshops at Venus Envy.

We caught up with him by phone at his home in San Francisco to talk about his new projects, recent happenings and what he hopes to bring to the Ottawa community.
