OUR COMMUNITY HAS BEEN DICTATED AND CREATED BY OUR OPPRESSORS. QUEERNESS IS NOT THE 8-PACK WHITE GAY WITH THE RAINBOW FLAG. QUEERNESS IS NOT THE CORPORATE PRIDE PARADE. QUEERNESS IS NOT THE DIVERSITY STATEMENT. QUEERNESS IS REBELLION.



AK: Transgender people because of the violence. I don't think we're there yet, you know, of all the people that get murdered, it's trans women of color, you know. So I feel that they're, in some ways in that last frontier of really extreme oppression by our community in terms of that. But I don't know. Um, I always wonder, you know, as a filmmaker that, you know, if we, you know, when the LGBT community went from marriage, right, and, oddly enough, this happened in the 70s, there was kind of, if you look at the LGBT history, a lot of people wanted marriage, a lot of people didn't. And with that, I think we lost our kind of impetus as a active community. And what happens to the art when, when a community becomes like, accepted.
