Queer & Trans Anarchist Thugery The Chicago Way
The demonstrations that have happened of late in regards to Prop 8 in California passing makes more sense now. Chicago politics?
These crazies bashed a church service in Lansing, Michigan.
Sunday, November 9, 2008 Michigan liberals sat peacefully through announcements, worship and prayer for the sick, our nation and our President-elect before staging a coordinated, disgusting and repulsive attack on worshipers and the broader concept of the church itself at Lansing's Mount Hope Church[...]From their "about" MySpace sitePrayer had just finished when men and women stood up in pockets across the congregation, on the main floor and in the balcony. "Jesus was gay," they shouted among other profanities and blasphemies as they rushed the stage. Some forced their way through rows of women and kids to try to hang a profane banner from the balcony while others began tossing fliers into the air. Two women made their way to the pulpit and began to kiss.
Their other props? I'll let them tell you in their own words... from another of their liberal blogs:
"(A) video camera, a megaphone, noise makers, condoms, glitter by the bucket load, confetti, pink fabric...yeh."
Lansing Bash Back is a newly formed autonomous pod of the collective Bash Back that was first formed in Chicago with the purpose of organizing a queer and trans response to the self-proclaimed "Republican" and "Democratic" National Conventions.Until now, trans and queer organizing has been all but invisible within the Anarchist community. While recognized as a major form of oppression, queer/trans space has never been a focus for this hetero and T.G.-dominated movement. Making ourselves visible is a main focus for Bash Back as well as confronting all hetero-sexism, transphobia and all interlocking oppressions.
Hopey, changey has a lot of followers. I suggest the rational LGBT community keep a close eye on these groups.
