LT is Seattle poet, performer, and organizer. He has been involved in several political projects including The Bend-It Extravaganza, an awesome 3-day queer all-ages festival held in Seattle for eight years and counting, the OutSpoken queer youth speakers bureau, and Mixed Identities and Racialized Bodies, a credited course on Mixed Race at the University of Washington which he helped create, launch, and facilitate.  His current political focuses are age politics and Coming Out of Your Social Justice Eduction In the Same Britches You Entered It In. As an artist he strives to save the world by promoting cathartic and passionately messy bouts of emotional self-disclosure by well-crafted example. LT has an opinion about most things, is very particular about writing utensils, and enjoys root beer.
