Against Equality - Queer Revolution Not Mere Inclusion

Image
Sunday, 1st March Conrad Ryan from ' Against Equality ' Against Equality is an online archive, publishing, and arts collective focused on critiquing mainstream gay and lesbian politics. Those politics have become so mainstream that in Auckland this year uniformed police and prison officers marched at the Pride Parade - there is no pride in that equality, just as there is no pride in the institutions of police and prison. Instead of wanting equality in that world, Against Equality seeks to build connections with other queer movements across the globe for a truly radical social and economic justice movement. Against Equality challenge the equality rhetoric and the demand for inclusion in the institution of marriage and other state institutions such as the military and the prison industrial complex . Come and have a chat with Ryan, discuss queer revolution - not mere inclusion! Afternoon tea provided! Sunday 1st March at 19 Tory St - 3.30pm As well as the Wellington meetings, ot
