Next Queer/Trans Caucus of Chicagoland Anarchist Network, June 2nd

The Queer/Trans Caucus of the Chicagoland Anarchist Network will be meeting Wednesday June 2nd 7:00pm at the UIC Behavioral Sciences Building (room number will be posted), 1007 W. Harrison.

The agenda will mostly comprise of planning for an anti-authoritarian anti-capitalist contingent in the "pride" parade, including themes (reclaiming pride, returning to a focus on queer liberation), confronting anti-gay bigot counter-demonstrators, possible feeder march and any other ideas you want to bring to the table. We will also be talking about a contingent in the Dyke March and other pride month plans. As well as a report back from the Great Lakes Bears protest/Congress Hotel picket line.

This is the 35th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion! Let's not let the corporate ass-kissing, politician-loving assimilationists rewrite Radical Queer History! Let's not forget that STONEWALL WAS A RIOT! That the Stonewall Rebellion was largely drag queens, transwomen, butch dykes and other gender varient people, mostly working class People Of Color who fought back against homophobic police, throwing bricks and barricades. The birth of the modern Gay Rights movement comes from the courage and strength of people that the mainstream gay elite now wish to abandon, sweep under the carpet.

Join us! The Queer/Trans Caucus of the Chicagoland Anarchist Network is open to all queer or trans identified people with anti-authoritarian, anti-capitalist, anti-statist tendancies. You don't have to be a member of the larger Chicagoland Anarchist Network.
