Ten years ago one might not have imagined the largest national
gay rights lobbying group (Human Rights Campaign) endorsing
a right-wing Republican Senatorial candidate (Al D'Amato
in New York), or the SF Pride parade adopting the Budweiser
advertising slogan as its official theme. As the gay mainstream
ironically prioritizes the attainment of straight privilege
over all else, it drains queer identity of any meaning, relevance,
or cultural value.
That's Revolting! is both blueprint and call to action bringing
the post-identity politic of a new generation of pissed-off
queers to a wider audience.
Mattilda, a.k.a. Matt Bernstein
Sycamore, is the author
of Pulling Taffy and the editor of Tricks
and Treats: Sex Workers
Write About Their Clients (Haworth 2000) and Dangerous
Families: Queer Writing on Surviving (Haworth, 2004). Mattilda
is an
instigator of Gay Shame: A Virus in the System, a radical
queer activist group that fights the monster of assimilation.
