The following is a zine project about radical queers and it seems like it could work well to educate everyone on the business that is the non-profit sector (Not that they don’t do some good thing, but if it wasn’t a business, there wouldn’t be non-profit professionals.), but it has to be handled in the right way. People need to realize that the revolution will not be funded, and to enact real change we have to do something, not just fork over our $10 yearly membership fee.
“Talking points could/should include, but are not limited to: racism, classism, assimilation, militarism/imperialism, transphobia, the prison-industrial complex, the non-profit industrial complex, immigration as a queer issue, public sex/sexuality and sleasure (and how the HRC tries to hide that as a part of our identities), the culture of respectability, healthcare. “Or maybe, even more fundamentally, w

Proof The Gay Marriage Movement Is Draining Resources from Queer Activism

The gay-marriage campaign has been sucking up resources like a massive sponge, corralling us to give up our last dollar and free time, leaving little sustenance for other queer groups doing critical work in our communities.
And the HIV travel ban has been an issue worked on by groups like Gay Men's Health Crisis since 1987, from its inception (Immigration Equality, which now attaches itself to the lifting of the ban, has only been around since 1994. The truth is that such things don't happen overnight and getting it lifted has meant the blood and sweat of a lot of queer activists who have been working relentlessly on the issue for a very long time. As for the bit about gay marriage as a tide rasing all boats, please take a look at the last sentence of my post:
"If we are to use any seafaring metaphors, it might be best to describe gay marriage as the Titanic, a

There's a new call to action being sent out and it's time to start listening.
While the rest of progressive America was cheering on last November's election night, things weren't a total celebration for many in California as gay marriage foes won the battle over Proposition 8 and the few months that same-sex marriages had been sanctioned by the state Supreme Court came to an abrupt end.
California took a step back as Iowa and much of New England is moving forward to grant equal marriage rights and both the setbacks and victories are helping to spur new waves of activism for LGBT equal rights.
The Advocate reported a meeting that just took place among 20 activists to try and set a new course: The group, which included

No borders and Binaries Allegedly Queer

The creative juices are flowing. This one is courtesy a commentator using ‘allegedly queer’ as an insult for Yasmin Nair after her critique of Uniting American Families Act over at Queer Cents. Now, many bi-national same-sex couples took offense to the post given their own personal struggles. Few really saw why Ms. Nair was raising such an issue with UAFA. It’s a piece of legislation that serves a privileged few, keeps marriage and family as central to citizenship, and might detract from efforts at comprehensive immigration reform.
My own views on gay immigration politics are summed up here:
The movement for immigration reform–permeated in heterosexuality–has to incorporate queer voices and politics, and not just from ‘Immigration Equality‘, which mainly advocates for gay American citizens without really questioning the problems with the conception of ‘citizenship’ — a const
