Some Revolutionary Roots of the Queer Liberation Movement w/ Destiny Clarke of Closeted History

The Intervention

We join Destiny of Closeted History to begin what we anticipate being the first in many collaborations exploring the intersection of the LGBTQ+ movement with other revolutionary struggles. Through the lens of "pinkwashing," we consider how landmark actions of the LGBTQ+ liberation movement (think Stonewall) have been appropriated to justify limited gains (think President Obama designating Stonewall a national monument). We pivot to a conversation of the genocide in Palestine and hasbara pinkwashing to create divisions within world bourgeoise liberalism.
