"Desire is never politically correct"
-Cherríe L. Moraga

Hell yes for a Selena shout-out. THE FEMINISTING FIVE: NATALIA GARCIA PASMANICK “All culture is political; all art is political. I don’t consider myself a political artist for this reason… As a queer, mujer artist I struggle to not let myself be defined by the extremely narrow conception of femininity, beauty or desirability that controls how marketable we are in this industry.” On Selena Quintanilla: “To me, she represents someone who exercised cultural resistance and is a feminist because she demanded cultural self-determination… She chose to make music for her comunidad. She refused to assimilate and, to me, that’s a profound act of cultural resistance.”

Hell yes for a Selena shout-out.
