His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>A new Trump administration proposal would change the civil rights rules dictating whether providers must care for patients who are transgender or have had an abortion. Supporters of the approach say it protects the freedom of conscience, but opponents say it encourages discrimination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sweeping proposal has implications for all Americans, though, because the Department of Health and Human Services seeks to change how far civil rights protections extend and how those protections are enforced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"The Trump Administration Rule\" postID=\"news_11749672,news_11752360\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roger Severino, the director of the HHS Office for Civil Rights, has been candid about his intentions to overturn an Obama-era rule that prohibited discrimination based on gender identity and termination of a pregnancy. In 2016, while at the conservative Heritage Foundation, he \u003ca href=\"https://www.heritage.org/health-care-reform/report/proposed-obamacare-gender-identity-mandate-threatens-freedom-conscience\">co-authored a paper\u003c/a> arguing the restrictions threaten the independence of physicians to follow their religious or moral beliefs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His office unveiled the \u003ca href=\"https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2019/05/24/hhs-proposes-to-revise-aca-section-1557-rule.html\">proposed rule\u003c/a> on May 24, when many people were focused on the start of the long Memorial Day holiday weekend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's the latest Trump administration proposal to strip protections for transgender Americans, coming the same week another \u003ca href=\"https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201904&RIN=2506-AC53\">directive\u003c/a> was proposed by the Department of Housing and Urban Development that would allow homeless shelters to turn away people based on their gender identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has the second-highest percentage of transgender adults of any state, after Hawaii, according to \u003ca href=\"https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/How-Many-Adults-Identify-as-Transgender-in-the-United-States.pdf\">a 2016 report\u003c/a> from the Williams Institute on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Law and Public Policy at UCLA’s law school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public was given 60 days to comment on the HHS proposal. Here's a rundown of what you need to know about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What would this proposal do?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Fundamentally, the proposed rule would overturn a \u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/news/hhs-unveils-civil-rights-protections-for-transgender-patients-health-services/\">previous rule\u003c/a> that forbids health care providers who receive federal funding from discriminating against patients on the basis of their gender identity or whether they have terminated a pregnancy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration proposal would eliminate those protections, enabling providers to deny these groups care or insurance coverage without having to pay a fine or suffer other federal consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote citation=\"Jocelyn Samuels\"]\"The administration should be in the business of expanding access to health care and health coverage. And my fear is that this rule does just the opposite.\"[/pullquote]That may mean refusing a transgender patient mental health care or gender-confirming surgery. But it may also mean denying patients care that has nothing to do with gender identity, such as a regular office visit for a bad cold or ongoing treatment for chronic conditions like diabetes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What it does, from a very practical point of view, is that it empowers bad actors to be bad actors,\" Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, told reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal would also eliminate protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity from several other health care regulations, like non-discrimination guidelines for the health care insurance marketplaces.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Does it affect only LGBTQ people?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The proposal goes beyond removing protections for the LGBTQ community and those who have had an abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It appears to weaken other protections, such as those based on race or age, by limiting who must abide by the rules. The Trump proposal would scrap the Obama-era rule's broad definition of which providers can be punished by federal health officials for discrimination, a complicated change critics have said could ease requirements for insurance companies, for instance, as well as the agency itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the proposal erases many of the enforcement procedures outlined in the earlier rule, including its explicit ban on intimidation or retaliation. It also delegates to Severino, as the office's director, full enforcement authority when it comes to things like opening investigations into complaints lodged under the non-discrimination rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Why did HHS decide to change the rule?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The Obama and Trump administrations have \u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/news/transgender-health-care-targeted-in-crusade-to-undo-aca/\">different opinions\u003c/a> about whether a health care provider should be able to refuse service to patients because they are transgender or have had an abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all goes back to a section in the Affordable Care Act barring discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, disability or sex. President Barack Obama's health officials said it is discrimination to treat someone differently based on gender identity or stereotypes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was the first time Americans who are transgender were protected from discrimination in health care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But President Trump's health officials said that definition of sex discrimination misinterprets civil rights laws, particularly a religious freedom law used to shield providers who object to performing certain procedures, such as abortions, or treating certain patients because they conflict with their religious convictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11713470\"]\"When Congress prohibited sex discrimination, it did so according to the plain meaning of the term, and we are making our regulations conform,\" Severino said in a statement. \"The American people want vigorous protection of civil rights and faithfulness to the text of the laws passed by their representatives.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of what the Office for Civil Rights has done under \u003ca href=\"https://khn.org/news/at-new-health-office-civil-rights-means-doctors-right-to-say-no-to-patients/\">Severino's leadership\u003c/a> is to emphasize and strengthen so-called conscience protections for health care providers, many of which existed well before Trump was sworn in. Last year, Severino unveiled a Conscience and Religious Freedom Division, and his office \u003ca href=\"https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2019/05/02/hhs-announces-final-conscience-rule-protecting-health-care-entities-and-individuals.html\">recently finalized another rule\u003c/a> detailing those protections and their enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The office also said the proposed rule \u003ca href=\"https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/1557-nprm-hhs.pdf\">would save about $3.6 billion over five years\u003c/a>. Most of that would come from eliminating requirements for providers to post notices about discrimination, as well as other measures that cater to those with disabilities and limited English proficiency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rule would also save providers money that might instead be spent handling grievances from those no longer protected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The office \"considers this a benefit of the rule,\" \u003ca href=\"https://www.healthaffairs.org/do/10.1377/hblog20190525.831858/full/\">said\u003c/a> Katie Keith, co-founder of Out2Enroll, an organization that helps the LGBTQ community obtain health insurance. \"Organizations will have lower labor costs and lower litigation costs because they will no longer have to process grievances or defend against lawsuits brought by transgender people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Why does this matter?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/report-section/health-and-access-to-care-and-coverage-lgbt-individuals-in-the-us-health-challenges/\">Research shows\u003c/a> the LGBTQ community faces greater health challenges and higher rates of illness than other groups, making access to equitable treatment in health care all the more important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Discrimination in Health Care\" link1=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2018/03/21/594030154/forum-how-discrimination-damages-health-in-lgbtq-communities,How Discrimination Damages Health In LGBTQ Communities\" link2=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2019/01/20/683216767/medical-students-push-for-more-lgbt-health-training-to-address-disparities,Medical Students Push For More LGBT Health Training To Address Disparities\"]Discrimination, from the misuse of pronouns to denials of care, is \"commonplace\" for transgender patients, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.transequality.org/sites/default/files/docs/resources/NTDS_Report.pdf\">2011 report\u003c/a> by advocacy groups. The report found that 28% of the 6,450 transgender and gender non-conforming people interviewed said they had experienced verbal harassment in a health care setting, while 19% said they had been refused care due to their gender identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report said 28% had postponed seeking medical attention when they were sick or injured because of discrimination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics fear the rule would muddy the waters, giving patients less clarity on what is and is not permissible and how to get help when they have been the victims of discrimination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jocelyn Samuels, the Obama administration official who oversaw the implementation of the Obama-era rule, said that for now, even though the Trump administration's HHS will not pursue complaints against those providers, Americans still have the right to challenge this treatment in court. Multiple courts have said the prohibition on sex discrimination includes gender identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The administration should be in the business of expanding access to health care and health coverage,\" Samuels told reporters on a conference call after the rule's release. \"And my fear is that this rule does just the opposite.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by \u003ca href=\"http://khn.org/\">Kaiser Health News\u003c/a>, an editorially independent program of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/\">Kaiser Family Foundation\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

They are the first of more than 3,600 Central Americans to reach the northern border of Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 80 migrants, the majority of whom identify as LGBT, splintered off from the larger group in Mexico City after weeks of what they say was discriminatory treatment by local residents and other travelers, Honduran migrant Cesar Mejia told reporters at a \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/Frontera.info/videos/1111726772327510/\">news conference\u003c/a> on Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Whenever we arrived at a stopping point the LGBT community was the last to be taken into account in every way. So our goal was to change that and say, 'This time we are going to be first,' \" Mejia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Members of the group in Tijuana include Honduran, Guatemalan, Nicaraguan and Salvadoran men and women, including transgender men and women, and also a handful of children. They are weeks ahead of the thousands who are on foot; the largest group of migrants is in Guadalajara, Mexico — nearly 1,400 miles south of Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most plan to use their status as members of a persecuted class to request asylum in the U.S. as early as Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We are fleeing a country where there's a lot of crime against us,\" an unidentified transgender woman told reporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The LGBT migrants gravitated toward one another within the caravan and began organizing en route. An internal count revealed there were more than 120 LGBT people among them, \u003ca href=\"https://www.voiceofsandiego.org/topics/news/border-report-a-caravan-within-the-caravan-has-arrived-in-tijuana/\">Voice of San Diego reported\u003c/a>. Their numbers emboldened the collective to forge their own path northward, which they did after linking up with an assortment of U.S. and Mexico-based LGBT groups that paid for the asylum-seekers to travel by bus, \u003ca href=\"https://www.univision.com/noticias/inmigracion/eeuu-se-prepara-para-recibir-a-la-caravana-de-migrantes-cierra-carriles-en-dos-garitas-fronterizas-e-instala-barreras-para-guiarlos\">Univision said\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When we entered Mexican territory, those organizations began to help us. We did not contact them; they learned from our group thanks to the media and decided to help us,\" Mejia said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sunday the group arrived at an upscale neighborhood called Coronado in Playas de Tijuana just a few miles from the San Diego port of entry. They were dropped off in the tony enclave in small groups by Mexican immigration officials who had been alerted of the migrants' arrival in nearby Mexicali. But upon their arrival they were met with anger from local residents who said they should have been warned by local authorities that LGBT people would be renting the four-bedroom house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a peaceful neighborhood and we don't want any trouble,\" Jose Roberto Martinez told Mejia. He said he lived in the neighborhood and that families in the area had survived terrible violence that plagued the region in the early 2000s — a result of the vicious drug wars in Tijuana.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We aren't safe here,\" a woman who lives in the neighborhood said. \"There could be someone within your group that could hurt us.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another woman demanded to know how the group had come up with the money to pay the rental fee for the expensive house. Mejia assured the community they were not backed by narcotraffickers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mejia spoke with reporters about the arduous journey that began on Oct. 12, recounting instances in which many LGBT migrants were denied food and access to showers by other members of the caravan or local groups providing aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was no physical abuse but there was plenty of verbal abuse,\" a transgender woman told reporters, although she added it was nothing compared to the reality of living as a transgender woman in her home country of Honduras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erick Dubon \u003ca href=\"https://www.telemundo20.com/noticias/eeuu/primeros-migrantes-de-la-caravana-llegan-a-la-frontera--500241841.html\">told Telemundo 20\u003c/a> that he was forced into prostitution in Honduras. With no options for any other type of work, he said, he had to choose between becoming a thief or sleeping with men for money. He chose the latter and that made him vulnerable to attacks. Telemundo reported Dubon's body is covered in scars from a violent assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nehemias de Leon shared similar stories about living in Guatemala. He said the trip north was difficult and frightening, and that the chances of obtaining asylum are slim in light of the Trump administration's rhetoric regarding the caravan and immigrants in general. But Leon said he'll never go back. \"It would be a death sentence,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the few possessions Leon has carried with him along the 2,400-mile journey are documents he said are proof of the danger he faces living as a gay man in his country of origin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want to do things in order, in the right way,\" Mejia told reporters. He said the LGBT group plans to request asylum at the San Ysidro or Otay Mesa ports of entry. \"We are waiting for our representatives,\" he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>César Palencia, the head of migrant services for Tijuana's municipal government, told Univision there are more than 2,000 people already waiting for an interview with U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials.

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>The U.S. Supreme Court, having legalized same-sex marriage in 2015, now clarifies that people are still free to oppose it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Monday, the court \u003ca href=\"https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/17pdf/16-111_j4el.pdf\">ruled\u003c/a> 7-2 in favor of a Colorado baker who refused to make a wedding cake for a gay couple, citing his religious opposition to same sex marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, was asked by a gay couple in 2012 to create a cake in celebration of their wedding. Phillips, a devout Christian, told the couple he could not accommodate their request, because he believed that God intended marriage to be the union of one man and one woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gay couple subsequently lodged a discrimination complaint against Phillips. The complaint was upheld by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, which ordered Phillips to \"cease and desist\" discriminating against same-sex couples in his sale of baked goods. Phillips appealed the ruling all the way to the Supreme Court, and the court on Monday agreed with him, on the grounds that he was entitled to religious freedom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The laws and the Constitution can, and in some instances must, protect gay persons and gay couples in the exercise of their civil rights,\" the court found, \"but religious and philosophical objections to gay marriage are protected views and in some instances protected forms of expression.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court ruling was hailed by the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), a conservative nonprofit organization that supported Phillips' appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Jack serves all customers; he simply declines to express messages or celebrate events that violate his deeply held beliefs,\" said ADF Senior Counsel Kristen Waggoner. \"This decision makes clear that the government must respect Jack's beliefs about marriage.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court ruling was drawn narrowly, however, and civil rights groups reacted to the decision with some relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Supreme Court acknowledged that LGBTQ people are equal and have a right to live free from the indignity of discrimination,\" said Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign. \"Anti-LGBTQ extremists did not win the sweeping 'license to discriminate' they have been hoping for.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) noted in a statement that the court's decision was based on \"concerns unique in the case\" and that it \"reaffirmed its longstanding rule that states can prevent the harms of discrimination in the marketplace,\" in the words of ACLU Deputy Legal Director Louise Melling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unique issue in the \u003cem>Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission \u003c/em>case concerned statements made by commissioners about Phillips' assertion of a right to freely exercise his religious faith in accordance with his beliefs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Writing for the court majority, Justice Anthony Kennedy said some commissioners \"disparaged Phillips' faith as despicable and characterized it as merely rhetorical, and compared his invocation of his sincerely held religious beliefs to defenses of slavery and the Holocaust.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such statements, Kennedy wrote, indicated \"clear and impermissible hostility\" toward his religious beliefs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For Justice Kennedy, that was a warning sign that free exercise of religion and claims of free exercise of religion are not being treated fairly,\" said Charles Haynes, founding director of the nonpartisan Religious Freedom Center in Washington, D.C. \"I think he wanted to say, 'That cannot stand.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy had also argued that dissenting views on same sex marriage should be treated respectfully when he wrote the majority opinion in the court's 2015 \u003cem>Obergefell v. Hodges \u003c/em>ruling, which legalized same-sex marriage in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The view that marriage is the union of a man and a woman, Kennedy wrote \u003ca href=\"https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/14pdf/14-556_3204.pdf\">in that ruling\u003c/a>, \"has been held—and continues to be held—in good faith by reasonable and sincere people here and throughout the world.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Colorado case, Kennedy noted that other bakers in the state were not punished for refusing to make cakes with messages condemning homosexuality and same-sex marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The state can't play favorites,\" said ADF Senior Counsel Waggoner, speaking on a conference call with reporters. \"I think that's what the court said loud and clear today. Because it did play favorites, because it expressed hostility towards [Phillips], that's why the case was reversed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unresolved in the Supreme Court decision was whether disputes over same-sex weddings and religious freedom objections might be seen differently if they were handled by civil rights commissions in a more neutral manner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is no helpful national standard,\" says John Inazu, a professor of law at Washington University Law School who specializes in religious freedom claims. \"The court's jurisprudence means that we're going to have state-by-state norms that vary quite a bit ... about what counts as protections for religious freedom.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liberal states may be more inclined to protect the rights of same-sex couples, while conservative states may be inclined to limit those rights in the name of protecting religious freedom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the consequences of this,\" Inazu says, \"is that we're going to see blue state/red state arrangements deepen rather than come together.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Phillips, a devout Christian, told the couple he could not accommodate their request, because he believed that God intended marriage to be the union of one man and one woman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The gay couple subsequently lodged a discrimination complaint against Phillips. The complaint was upheld by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, which ordered Phillips to \"cease and desist\" discriminating against same-sex couples in his sale of baked goods. Phillips appealed the ruling all the way to the Supreme Court, and the court on Monday agreed with him, on the grounds that he was entitled to religious freedom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The laws and the Constitution can, and in some instances must, protect gay persons and gay couples in the exercise of their civil rights,\" the court found, \"but religious and philosophical objections to gay marriage are protected views and in some instances protected forms of expression.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Colorado Civil Rights Commission \u003c/em>case concerned statements made by commissioners about Phillips' assertion of a right to freely exercise his religious faith in accordance with his beliefs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Writing for the court majority, Justice Anthony Kennedy said some commissioners \"disparaged Phillips' faith as despicable and characterized it as merely rhetorical, and compared his invocation of his sincerely held religious beliefs to defenses of slavery and the Holocaust.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such statements, Kennedy wrote, indicated \"clear and impermissible hostility\" toward his religious beliefs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For Justice Kennedy, that was a warning sign that free exercise of religion and claims of free exercise of religion are not being treated fairly,\" said Charles Haynes, founding director of the nonpartisan Religious Freedom Center in Washington, D.C. \"I think he wanted to say, 'That cannot stand.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy had also argued that dissenting views on same sex marriage should be treated respectfully when he wrote the majority opinion in the court's 2015 \u003cem>Obergefell v. Hodges \u003c/em>ruling, which legalized same-sex marriage in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The view that marriage is the union of a man and a woman, Kennedy wrote \u003ca href=\"https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/14pdf/14-556_3204.pdf\">in that ruling\u003c/a>, \"has been held—and continues to be held—in good faith by reasonable and sincere people here and throughout the world.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Colorado case, Kennedy noted that other bakers in the state were not punished for refusing to make cakes with messages condemning homosexuality and same-sex marriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The state can't play favorites,\" said ADF Senior Counsel Waggoner, speaking on a conference call with reporters. \"I think that's what the court said loud and clear today. Because it did play favorites, because it expressed hostility towards [Phillips], that's why the case was reversed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unresolved in the Supreme Court decision was whether disputes over same-sex weddings and religious freedom objections might be seen differently if they were handled by civil rights commissions in a more neutral manner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is no helpful national standard,\" says John Inazu, a professor of law at Washington University Law School who specializes in religious freedom claims. \"The court's jurisprudence means that we're going to have state-by-state norms that vary quite a bit ... about what counts as protections for religious freedom.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liberal states may be more inclined to protect the rights of same-sex couples, while conservative states may be inclined to limit those rights in the name of protecting religious freedom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the consequences of this,\" Inazu says, \"is that we're going to see blue state/red state arrangements deepen rather than come together.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>Author Myriam Gurba’s latest work, \"Mean,\" is a memoir about coming of age as a queer, mixed-race Chicana on the Central Coast. It’s funny and honest, but it also has a brutal edge to it: The book opens with the rape and murder of a young woman. Gurba's connection to this violent attack is part of the unconventional path through her book. She talked to \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Sasha Khokha.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview was edited for brevity and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So this book has a lot of biting humor in it and in some ways ... it's a love letter to Santa Maria and your childhood there. But one of the through lines of the book is something really painful, which is that you were raped and attacked in Santa Maria by a stranger. What made you decide to revisit that assault some 20 years later?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myriam Gurba: I was interested in writing about rape in ways that I hadn't read before. And so I approached writing about my experience of rape experimentally, and that was what largely motivated the creation of the book. I was also interested in trying to find some sort of meaning in my survival. One of the other women who was attacked by the man who attacked me was murdered by him, and for 20 years I carried around a lot of survivor guilt because I share a lot in common with the other victim that didn't survive. But one of the things we don't share in common is survival. And so I wanted to just sort of construct some sort of meaning to come to some sort of understanding to give myself permission to enjoy being alive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cimg class=\"alignleft wp-image-11652373\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29602_Gurba_Mean_9781566894913_1024x1024-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29602_Gurba_Mean_9781566894913_1024x1024-qut.jpg 684w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29602_Gurba_Mean_9781566894913_1024x1024-qut-160x240.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29602_Gurba_Mean_9781566894913_1024x1024-qut-240x359.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29602_Gurba_Mean_9781566894913_1024x1024-qut-375x561.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29602_Gurba_Mean_9781566894913_1024x1024-qut-520x778.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">In some ways this is also a ghost story and one of the ghosts in this book is Sophia Torres, a farmworker who was attacked and killed. Why was it important to tell her story, too?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gurba: It felt incredibly important to tell her story because nobody cared. She would frequently be referred to as \"the transient who was bludgeoned to death in Oakley Park.\" That's her legacy, and it became glaringly disgusting to me when the Michael Jackson trial was occurring. His trial happened in Santa Maria at the same courthouse where Tommy Martinez was brought to trial for murdering Sophia Torres and attacking a number of local women, including myself. There was minimal concern for her death. The Jackson case drew international attention and it made me incredibly sad that this woman had such a difficult life from birth. And then [she] endured such a degrading, humiliating death, and that even in death, she was still nobody. In some ways I wanted to make her somebody, at least in death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you see writing about your assault as a way to take back power or be able to tell your side of the story?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gurba: Not necessarily. I don't treat writing as something that's particularly cathartic. In fact, it was really painful and really difficult and I think I actually retraumatized myself at times, because I had to visit certain legal documents that detailed the murder of Sophia Torres. There were details that I did not know about her murder that now live in my memory, that I now have to reconcile and reckon with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Talk about the title of the book, \"Mean.\" The word can translate into vicious or aggressive. Why did you decide to call the book \"Mean\"?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gurba: I like really biting short direct titles. And the book is, in some senses, a celebration of feminine meanness and girlish pettiness and malice. Quite frequently there are anecdotes in the book where girls are engaging in recreational meanness to bond. But in addition to referring to that sort of meanness, I'm also using the word \"mean\" as a shorthand for cruelty. Because the book is also largely a meditation on the nature of cruelty. And on the impact of cruelty. The book is also a meditation on meaning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The structure of the book is so interesting, because some of the chapters are just a few words or sentences long. Also the arc of \"Mean\"\u003cem> \u003c/em>doesn't follow a literal timeline.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gurba: The structure is meant to give just enough chronology to the reader so that they can trace the vestiges of a linear narrative. But the linear narrative has been disrupted by something: violence. In particular, [this is evident] by beginning the book with such a violent story. I don't inform the reader what my connection to this story is and that's intended to reflect the symptoms of PTSD, particularly the intrusive symptoms where one feels as if they're being ambushed by flashbacks and memories. And so that story is intended to sort of serve as a haunting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Your book is coming out right at the time when this #MeToo movement is gaining steam. How do you feel about the fact that some people are connecting your book with that movement?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gurba: I have very mixed feelings about those connections. On the one hand, I understand why those connections would be drawn because my book focuses largely on misogny and it focuses quite a bit on sexual abuse and sexual violence. However, much of the violence that I describe in the book stands apart from #MeToo's interests, in the sense that much of #MeToo is concerned with how to reform existing relationships. For example, workplace relationships between men and women or relationships that occur within the framework of dating. Whereas the violence that I describe in \"Mean\"\u003cem> \u003c/em>is violence that is largely perpetrated by a stranger. And so that sort of stranger violence doesn't necessarily fit into those frameworks. So I think that a different framework is necessary for discussing that particular kind of violence because the quality and the impact of it are different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> What are you working on now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gurba: I'm working right now on essays about California that focus on regions that haven't necessarily gotten the spotlight. I'm interested in writing about Lampo or Santa Ynez, Santa Maria or Fresno. The parts of California that nobody necessarily makes it a point to visit or shine a spotlight on.\u003c/p>\n\n",

She talked to \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Sasha Khokha.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview was edited for brevity and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So this book has a lot of biting humor in it and in some ways ... it's a love letter to Santa Maria and your childhood there. But one of the through lines of the book is something really painful, which is that you were raped and attacked in Santa Maria by a stranger. What made you decide to revisit that assault some 20 years later?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myriam Gurba: I was interested in writing about rape in ways that I hadn't read before. And so I approached writing about my experience of rape experimentally, and that was what largely motivated the creation of the book. I was also interested in trying to find some sort of meaning in my survival. One of the other women who was attacked by the man who attacked me was murdered by him, and for 20 years I carried around a lot of survivor guilt because I share a lot in common with the other victim that didn't survive. But one of the things we don't share in common is survival. And so I wanted to just sort of construct some sort of meaning to come to some sort of understanding to give myself permission to enjoy being alive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cimg class=\"alignleft wp-image-11652373\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29602_Gurba_Mean_9781566894913_1024x1024-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29602_Gurba_Mean_9781566894913_1024x1024-qut.jpg 684w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29602_Gurba_Mean_9781566894913_1024x1024-qut-160x240.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29602_Gurba_Mean_9781566894913_1024x1024-qut-240x359.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29602_Gurba_Mean_9781566894913_1024x1024-qut-375x561.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/RS29602_Gurba_Mean_9781566894913_1024x1024-qut-520x778.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">In some ways this is also a ghost story and one of the ghosts in this book is Sophia Torres, a farmworker who was attacked and killed.

She would frequently be referred to as \"the transient who was bludgeoned to death in Oakley Park.\" That's her legacy, and it became glaringly disgusting to me when the Michael Jackson trial was occurring. His trial happened in Santa Maria at the same courthouse where Tommy Martinez was brought to trial for murdering Sophia Torres and attacking a number of local women, including myself. There was minimal concern for her death. The Jackson case drew international attention and it made me incredibly sad that this woman had such a difficult life from birth. And then [she] endured such a degrading, humiliating death, and that even in death, she was still nobody. In some ways I wanted to make her somebody, at least in death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you see writing about your assault as a way to take back power or be able to tell your side of the story?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gurba: Not necessarily. I don't treat writing as something that's particularly cathartic. In fact, it was really painful and really difficult and I think I actually retraumatized myself at times, because I had to visit certain legal documents that detailed the murder of Sophia Torres. There were details that I did not know about her murder that now live in my memory, that I now have to reconcile and reckon with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Talk about the title of the book, \"Mean.\" The word can translate into vicious or aggressive. Why did you decide to call the book \"Mean\"?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gurba: I like really biting short direct titles. And the book is, in some senses, a celebration of feminine meanness and girlish pettiness and malice. Quite frequently there are anecdotes in the book where girls are engaging in recreational meanness to bond. But in addition to referring to that sort of meanness, I'm also using the word \"mean\" as a shorthand for cruelty. Because the book is also largely a meditation on the nature of cruelty. And on the impact of cruelty. The book is also a meditation on meaning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The structure of the book is so interesting, because some of the chapters are just a few words or sentences long. Also the arc of \"Mean\"\u003cem> \u003c/em>doesn't follow a literal timeline.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gurba: The structure is meant to give just enough chronology to the reader so that they can trace the vestiges of a linear narrative. But the linear narrative has been disrupted by something: violence. In particular, [this is evident] by beginning the book with such a violent story. I don't inform the reader what my connection to this story is and that's intended to reflect the symptoms of PTSD, particularly the intrusive symptoms where one feels as if they're being ambushed by flashbacks and memories. And so that story is intended to sort of serve as a haunting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Your book is coming out right at the time when this #MeToo movement is gaining steam. How do you feel about the fact that some people are connecting your book with that movement?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gurba: I have very mixed feelings about those connections. On the one hand, I understand why those connections would be drawn because my book focuses largely on misogny and it focuses quite a bit on sexual abuse and sexual violence. However, much of the violence that I describe in the book stands apart from #MeToo's interests, in the sense that much of #MeToo is concerned with how to reform existing relationships. For example, workplace relationships between men and women or relationships that occur within the framework of dating. Whereas the violence that I describe in \"Mean\"\u003cem> \u003c/em>is violence that is largely perpetrated by a stranger. And so that sort of stranger violence doesn't necessarily fit into those frameworks. So I think that a different framework is necessary for discussing that particular kind of violence because the quality and the impact of it are different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong> What are you working on now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
