Militianeers!!!
is this a call to arms?
ur right to bare arms?
a one bio-woman (and others) army?
anyone else tired of feeling like there's nothing doing these days?
wanna fuck shit up but feeling unmotivated or concerned that it might tip the balance of the Gay marriage debate (like poor dead ohio)
Equal Marriage campaigning making us committed ANTI-MARRIAGE queers feeling left out of the circus ruckus?
For those who didn't know, I'm going down on san francisco (though not fr at least another two days as my favorite secretagentloverman needs cash for sperm donation and you gotta abstain for two days ahead of time to do it... UGH) and hanging with the GayShamers, some of whom have heard of our sisters in the AntiCapAssPirouettes and even these skids down here are moving kinda slowly on actions (aside from regular stencilling which seems to get regularly sprayed over by Gays and Lesbians in the castro)...
ANYWAY, this static state (and my fast beating heart of hearts, oh what lust can do...) got me thinking about PINK TRIANGLE DAY.
I mean it's less than a month away (February 14th!!!) and *I* always thought it to be a significant day in our history "as a people"... am I wrong?
for those who might not know about it (will and gracers of the Gay Militia...) it's a day to remember the over 150'000 queers who were exterminated in the concentration camps of WW2- the pink triangle was the symbol faggots were made to wear (like the yellow star of david the jews were made to wear) and lesbos were lumped in with other "socially undesireable" women like sex workers and wore a black triangle. Of course some BOY musta decided to name the day so it's pink triangle day but with the pink and black triangles together and knowing this his/her/hirstory I think it sets us up for a great opportunity to play on a lot of archetypes within/misconceptions surrounding/commodification/new formulations of our identities...
SO MY SUGGESTION IS:
PINK TRIANGLE DAY ACTION BRAINSTORM
(and media sharing)
Let's post what we'd like to have happen and ask for feedback and suggestions and volunteers and fun!
ok I'll start!
I'm interested in making a large format (prolly blueprint) poster that's talking about our current lack of interest (as a "community") in queer his/her/hirstories and looking at the internet "community" (admittedly a pretty boy-centric project here) as perpetuating a dangerously hyper-sexualized (without any contextualization of:
the AIDS crisis,
ACT-UP,
Radical Faeries,
Comprehensive Sexuality Education,
Trade,
The Daddy/Son Dynamic v. Mentorship,
Tricking,
Mediated Identities v. Best Foot Fwd,
Transphobia - SissyBoys
Literacy (media and the regular type),
Marsha P Johnson & The First Brick at Stonewall Theory,
Gym Clones-Tom of Finland-The Role of Fantasy (in the Age of a Pandemic),
Porn - Phantom Limb Theory - Self-Reflexivity - D.I.Y.,
Barebacking,
Pulling Out v. Precum,
Living POZ,
Loving POZ,
Power in Transformation v. Telling Your Truth,
Women In Our Lives v. Women Of Our Lives,
Sexual Racism,
How We Programme (and De/Reprogramme) Our Desire,
Anatomy and Physiology,
Mental Health and Making Choices that Fit With Your Values,
Class and Access to Information,
The Down Low,
Our MSM Community,
Bathhouse Culture,
Bashing and Bait.
Etc, Etc, Etc...
Aside from this project - which I'm totally willing to share if people wanna print them themselves, or edit, or make comments on - could save them for you in whatever format you'd like - I'm like to maybe to a performance of some kind?
anyone have any ideas about what they might like to do?
I DARE YOU to make something happen.
yer all a bunch of fucking wikkidly brilliant souls, show me ur still thinking about our community, and to totally play the asshole, we all know that this issue still matters because the last two times I got trashed I couldn't help but cry about those two kids who killed themselves at that catholic school last year because of homophobic bullshit. OUR HER/HIR/HISTORY MATTERS and THIS IS WRITING MORE OF IT.
let's fucking make some of our own goddamned space and time.
please.
