That´s revolting. Queer Strategies for Resisting Assimilation

That´s Revolting shows us what the new queer resistance looks like. The collection is a fistful of rocks to throw at the glass house of Gaylandia. That´s Revolting uses queer identity and struggle as a starting point from which to reframe, reclaim, and re-shape the world. The collection challenges the commercialized, commodified, and hyper-objectified view of gay/queer identity projected by the mainstream (straight and gay) media by exploring queer struggles to transform gender, revolutionize sexuality, and build community/family outside of traditional models.Includes seven new essyas: A piece about the Gay Liberation Front in the ´70s A piece from the ACT UP Oral History Project A conversation between former members of the George Jackson Brigade (´70s radicals) An essay about rural working class queer youth in Massachusetts An essay on New Orleans A piece about the Drop The Debt/STOP AIDS action in New York
