A reflection on the queer experience in the landscape of 1990s Amerika. It appeals not to straight people (read: blue eyed, bearded masculinity), but to fellow queers because queers too are complicit. ‘We must look at our lives and see what's best in them, see what is queer and what is straight and let that straight chaff fall away’. That is, queers too are agents of the system that denies them. Gender-mediated oppression won’t just go away. And so it follows that ‘girl you can't wait for other dykes to make the world safe for you. stop waiting for a better more lesbian future! The revolution could be here if we started it’.
