words are queer weapons

Turn the strange into the possible.

Wherever I am, whatever I happen to be doing, I try to feel connected to futures that are only possible through struggle.

I owe everything to being queer.

"Why are you asking about acceptability? Do what you want."

It's hard to imagine people who don't rub up against their gender with friction.

"There is always the possibility of redirecting those wish-dreams to the here-and-now."

"It’s my view that gender is culturally formed--but it’s also a domain of agency or freedom."

"If nothing else, I will always have my refusal."

"We are constituted by social norms we did not choose."

Radicals are activists who look for the roots of the social, economic, and political wrongs in society and demand immediate and sweeping changes to remedy them.

"I love things that are so painful but so gorgeous at the same time. It gets me through it. It really does. I am in pain right now."

"I'm not a man who lives in the past, who relishes and cries about the present. I want an entirely new world, one that renews itself, one that changes completely."

"If desire could liberate itself, it would have nothing to do with the preliminary marking by sexes."
