DESCRIPTION:“It is not only that we may not choose with whom to cohabitat
 e\, but that we must actively preserve the unchosen character of inclusi
 ve and plural cohabitation\; we not only live with those we never chose 
 and to whom we may feel no social sense of belonging\, but we are also o
 bligated to preserve their lives and the plurality of which they form a 
 part. In this sense\, concrete political norms and ethical prescriptions
  emerge from the unchosen character of these modes of cohabitation.”\n -
 Judith Butler\, Parting Ways: Jewishness and the Critique of Zionism\n\n
 “Shunning is so often the go-to tool of people dealing with problems or 
 conflict in queer communities\, which only contributes to cycles of dehu
 manization and abuse. It's the easy\, simplistic response too often depl
 oyed for all manner of interpersonal and inter-community conflict.”\n -C
