Shakespeare & the hypocrisy of sex laws

I have a piece up on the Ottawa page of Xtra.ca today. This was originally supposed to be in the print edition of Capital Xtra, but it got bumped for a variety of reasons, and has thus appeared online. I had fun writing the piece, and did my homework before hand, reading "Measure For Measure" the night before my interview to ensure that I had my grasp on the play and why it is considered problematic, as well as to see how it could be grounded in a contemporary context. It's also given me the desire to go and see the play being performed, but the likelihood of my making it out to Prescott is a little more uncertain. Nevertheless, it was a fun little piece.
