Speaking from the Margins: Confronting Homophobia in the Debate Space
Owen Reed | 5/7/25
“While homophobia is still present throughout the debate space through inaccessibility, judge bias, rejection of argumentation and the current resolutional model of debate, the rising progressive style of debate leaves queer debaters with hope.

In choosing to even attempt this, I thank you for being rather noble and truly courageous."
