This is an autobiographical essay, one that explores my migrations-both literally, moving from the Midwest to the South, and figuratively, moving increasingly "out" in my publications. The Web has been the catalyst for signifying those migrations, and so this paper intertwines technological issues with autobiographical discussions and commentaries about the shifts/transitions. I explore the role the Web has started to play in my identity construction because of my migration to a small rural southern town. This portion of the essay plays with strategies for meeting queers (which I hope will be entertaining to others) but also discusses the difference living a rural/regional reality makes in one's need to articulate and fashion a safe/hospitable narrative about queer identity. From the establishment of the reason for increasingly moving "out," I explore desires about response–from the kinds of responses I was used to in grad school, how I've placed myself within the composition community and the kinds of response there to queer identity to the complications I think within the gay and lesbian sig for computers and writing folk, and finally the kinds of response I desire from the computers and writing collective. Queer studies have influenced humanities departments, but I wonder, in this last part of the essay, about advocacy strategies that address local concerns of queer computers and writing participants. What kinds of migrations/changes in responses would we like to create within this enclave? What would we like highlight and celebrate as positive; what would we like to improve?
