But Steve Bannon WAS right for the New Yorker in Remnick's eyes.
THAT wasn't "right" for The New Yorker.
It wasn't a money issue—they paid me the full amount NOT to publish me!
For all we know, they may pay Bannon a kill fee.
It will pay to publish—or not—a queer PoC writer's essay on the importance of therapy. It's just a game, it's not important. It's just content.
I got another Conde Nast publication to publish it, which was a queer publication..
But revisiting this, I am furious.
I refuse to believe my ideas and writing are less important than Steve Bannon's!
It's taken me a lot of therapy to say this (lol), but I know this is true!
They paid me NOT to publish in their magazine, to exclude my (commissioned!) ideas.
It is immoral, unethical, homophobic, xenophobic, unimaginative, crazy-making, and racist.
The End.
