Marriage equality: Why queer unions should deviate from Brahmanical traditions

The 'ideal' hetero-structure of marriages in India is embedded in Brahmanical traditions and caste endogamy. In order to not replicate this character of marriage, the philosophy underlying Hindu queer unions must be a radical deviation from the former.

What would be the way in a to prevent becomes ever a matter of legality again?

Exactly: None. The majority permits your today, and maybe tomorrow they hate you again.

Additional, it's a nice topic to polarise people and force to vote for the only pro-queer party.

Easy votes.

Fuck democracy 🙄😜

Today in Labor History June 20, 1912: Voltairine de Cleyre, one of the earliest feminist anarchists, died at the age 45, following a long illness. Two thousand supporters attended her funeral at Waldheim cemetery, in Chicago, where she was buried next to the Haymarket Martyrs. De Cleyre opposed capitalism and marriage and the domination of religion over sexuality and women’s lives. Her father, a radical abolitionist, named her after the Enlightenment writer and satirist, Voltaire. Her biographer Paul Avrich said that she was "a greater literary talent than any other American anarchist."

There is so much more for us to worry about than men masquerading as women to access single-sex spaces

We should concentrate on what unites us, from sexual assault to healthcare inequality, writes Kathryn Bromwich.

Today in Labor History June 15, 1950: As part of their Cold War hysteria, the Senate opened an investigation of 3,500 alleged "sex perverts" (i.e., homosexuals) in the federal government. The “lavender” scare paralleled McCarthy’s witch hunt against anarchists, communists, socialists and labor leaders. McCarthy hired attorney Roy Cohn as chief counsel for the lavender committee. Together with J. Edgar Hoover, head of the FBI, they got scores of LGTBQ people fired from their government jobs because of the fear that their sexuality had already, or would in the future, make them easy targets for blackmail by the Soviet Union. Both Cohn and Hoover were believed to be gay.

This video clip is the trailer for the 2017 documentary “Lavender Scare.”
