A Queer Reading of Izanami and Izanagi

(photo found at pixabay ) As I read through Izanagi and Izanami I was able to pull out many ideas for my story. The idea that the gods and goddesses can make things out of the foam is a wonderful and magical way to describe creation.  The gender roles in this story could be switched within the new story as women in this time period of writing were not allowed to speak before a man. I could also use the idea of the floating bridge within this work to be able to provide a staircase.  I feel like a little bit of Drag Queen comedy so that is another possibility for this story.  Here is a link to the story Izanami and Izanagi
