Inga Muscio
AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A BLUE-EYED DEVIL:
My Life and Times in a Racist, Imperialist Society
Inga Muscio is the author of Cunt: A Declaration of Independence
which, it seems, can't be kept on the shelves even after several years in publication.
"Blue-Eyed Devil" is her second book. In this work, Muscio delves into how personal history is to everyone, while challenging readers to expand their thinking on America's past and encouraging them to consider how their own histories might read. Muscio deals with real-time issues of gender, race, class and other important social concerns while keeping the reader captivated with her down to earth humor and witty intelligence.

History of QUEER NATION:
please see
Bay Area Reporter, 30 June 2005, page10.
...
QN invents "the Suburban Homosexual Outreach Project [SHOP] (same-sex kiss-ins at shopping malls)
and Queer Nights Out (invasions of straight bars and other venues)."
QN generally accepts bi and trans people, and tries to include all colors and classes.
By 1993, the "radical activism of ACT UP, Queer Nation, and the Lesbian Avengers" declines.
"But Queer Nation nevertheless made a lasting impact on the movement," writes queerstorian Liz Highleyman. "The once-shocking term 'queer' has become de rigueur, and many gay and lesbian groups now include bisexual and transgender people as a matter of course."
