GAY SHAME IS A VIRUS IN THE SYSTEM. WE ARE COMMITTED TO A TRANS/QUEER EXTRAVAGANZA THAT BRINGS DIRECT ACTION TO SPECTACULAR LEVELS OF CONFRONTATION. WE WORK COLLECTIVELY OUTSIDE BORING AND DECEPTIVE NON-PROFIT MODELS TO FIGHT WHITE SUPREMACY, CAPITALISM, ABLEISM, COPS, SETTLER COLONIALISM AND ALL FORMS OF DOMINATION. LIBERALS THINK WE ARE FRIVOLOUS DECORATIONS AND MAINSTREAM GAYS WANT US GONE. AGAINST THEM AND WITH EACH OTHER WE INSTIGATE, IRRITATE AND AGITATE TO BUILD CULTURES OF DEVASTATING RESISTANCE.
