there is nothing radical about including cops and big corporations at your marches and events (looking at you, ) 🙄
examples of some ways you can embrace pride’s revolutionary roots:
-boycott midsumma and other pride events that promote rainbow-washing and bootlicking
-protest Israel’s 75 year occupation of Palestine and Israeli genocide of Palestinians (share content from Gaza, attend a rally, engage in direct action, send funds- eg to , buy an e-SIM, engage in the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions movement- check out )
-protect your community and protest the government’s eugenicist complacency by practicing covid safety (wearing a covid mask in public, using nasal spray and mouthwash before going out, staying home when sick)
-become an internationalist and support anti-colonial, anti-war and LAND BACK resistance movements around the globe (free Congo, free Artsakh, free Sudan, free West Papua, free Tigray, free Tibet, free Tamil Eelam, free Hawaii - and so many more)
-contribute to mutual aid
-pay the rent:
-listen to and uplift the voices of s*x workers (follow *xworkau and amplify their mutual aid requests)
-keep learning about + support the abolitionist movements to abolish cops and prisons (am currently reading ‘we do this ‘til we free us’ by Miriame Kaba, and keen to read ‘the women’s house of detention’ by Hugh Ryan)
-become ungovernable ( has some great historical examples)
i’d also like to acknowledge that these photos under ‘embrace tradition’ are all in the West, and that q***r rights movements in the Global South are very much revolutionary. the root of q***rphobia and transphobia is white supremacy and colonialism, and so many Indigenous cultures practiced same-gender romantic + s*xual relationships, in addition to recognising more than two binary genders. anti-colonialism and anti-white-supremacy need to be central to our fight for liberation.
be gay and do crime! we’re not free until we’re all free
