"The ultimate irony of gay liberation is that it has made it possible for straight people to create more fluid gender, sexual, and social identities, while mainstream gay people salivate over state-sanctionared Tiffany wedding bands and paticipatory patriarchy. If gay assimilationists wanted actual progress, they’d start by fighting for the abolition of marriage (duh), and universal access to the services that marriage can sometimes help procure: housing, healthcare, citizenship, tax breaks, and inheritance rights."

That’s Revolting! Queer Strategies for Resisting Assimilation (via queerfatfemme)

lol oh anarchists, when will you stop putting your revolutions on the backs of gay people.  Seriously this shit just makes me ill, the gays are SO SUPER INHERENTLY RADIKEWL that it’s up to us to change everything about society?

(via wingolamo)

they’re basically saying that because we’re queer we should embrace our lack of civil rights for their revolution and all that goes with it, like being unable to be with our partners in their last moment or living a significantly more expensive life or having to cart around a pile of documents to guard yourself against losing your child or being separated from your partner by shitting immigration laws or about oh, 1,000 other things. we should just drop all of that - actually, no, rather than choosing not to take part in that we should instead embrace that we actually have no choice but to be excluded - so that we can be warm bodies in an army fighting for impractical goals that won’t be achieved until generations of queer people have died without their partners next to them, after living a life that could very well have been much easier if they had those tax breaks and hadn’t had to spend so much money on legal fees trying to approximate the rights they were just too radical to deserve.
