Three wishes for 2006.

1) I wish queer people would be queer again. I look back on my posts since I started contributing to Big Queer and have noticed a theme: I am disappointed by the milk toast, far too civilized, and not at all radical tactics employed by the Gay Rights Movement of the '00's. It wasn't that long ago that queer was punk, that queers were gender warriors, and queerness was well...queer. We fought for rights that didn't alienate others, we were proud of our powerful multi-racial, economically diverse front, our art, film and culture said and did things only we could say and do, and we tried Fighting for Equality instead of Buying for Equality. Come on folks, the Gay Rights Movement needs to cut some new teeth! I mean, the Christian right blurts out more punk ass bitch shit than we do these days, and that's just wrong.
