Against Equality
Against Equality (AE) is an online archive, publishing, and arts collective focused
on critiquing mainstream gay and lesbian politics. AE are "committed to dislodging the centrality of equality
rhetoric and challenging the demand for inclusion in the institution of
marriage, the US military, and the prison industrial complex via hate crimes legislation."In March 2014 many of the resources and pamphlets were put together into one book - Against Equality. Ryan has described it as "the culmination of many years of collective work that challenges the celebratory discourse around gay marriage, gays in the military, and LGBTQ inclusive hate crime legislation within broader queer and trans communities." He says that, "AE’s work has played a critical role in opening up space to question the logic of equality and inclusion that has recently become more common in the mainstream press, academic publishing, and activist rhetoric."
