Just so we’re QUEER:
I do not give a fuck that I now have the same rights as other bourgeois, privileged fucks to join an institution that is oppressive. Nor do I want the right to go and serve an imperial power, fucking over some other oppressed group of people so that I can have the “equality” to be an oppressor in this way.
Marriage is STILL not the right answer. It’s not even the right fucking question. The right question is: “Why do people think that supporting the rights of (well-behaved, cis-gender, monogamous, bourgeois, mostly white) gay people makes them (or “gay” people) progressive?” The right question involves remembering how we got here — through intersectional politics that recognized that oppression on the basis of sexuality, gender, class, race, abled-ness, nationalism, etc. was WRONG and both the gay liberation and lesbian feminist movements knew this. Don’t piss on the rest of those who still struggle for “equality” and tell them it’s raining men (hallelujah), find a queer political organization and do something that actually fucking matters.
Yes, I’m saying “fuck” a lot because I’m pissed. But I also like fucking: I like fucking men. I like fucking women. I like fucking gender-queer folk like myself. And my heart and my social life are both large enough to love and make love to all kinds of people as well.
So, fuck, NYC! Fuck a lot! Fuck the whole state, if it’s consensual! Practice safer sex, but fuck. And, fuck, Mr. Obama. You’re such a Republican in Dem clothing (just like Bill Clinton, our greatest Republican president), that you must have an intern or a wide stance or an Appalachian trail that you’re interested in trying out.
No one is “equal” — or free — so long as it is only possible because others are oppressed.
We’re here! We’re QUEER! And we ain’t done yet!
