 You demand the right to serve in the military and you're going to end up dropping phosphorous bombs on Afghani kids. And really, is that liberation? Is that freedom? Is having a seat at the table of empire really liberation? If you get to run Abu Ghraib and you get to sexually torture and humiliate people, does that mean you're equal? Because now any American kid can join the army and go make butt pyramids in Iraq. We felt like at its strongest, queer culture represented a standing critique of the entire society and its illnesses and what need to be overthrown -- a much more revolutionary take on the potential of queer liberation. 

The most refreshing, most "queer as in fuck you," least respectability politics bullshit queer and punk history book I've had the pleasure to read in a long while; great reminder of why punk rock and why queer.
