A Photo Is Worth A Thousand Words
 
         About 48,000 unionized academic workers across the University Of California’s ten campuses walked off the job last Monday morning (11/14/2022) for better pay and benefits, including affordable housing. The action is the largest university-based labor strike in U.S. history—a snapshot of the wave of the future.
 
         Jamie Callum Ross, a striker and UCLA Fulbright Fellow in Fa**ot Fotography, among other creative pursuits, took the Fa**ot Fotograph below on the first day of the labor action on UCLA’s North Campus.

         There is increasing interest in the militant activities of Gay Liberation Fronts and Radical Faeries, particularly among young LGBTQ people, across the country.  The revolution continues.  
 
         It’s a reaction to the stale status quo politics of the Neo-Homophile period (1990-present) in L.A. with its hetero-imitative ways, vapid assimilation, and exploitative rainbow capitalism with a steep price tag on everything, including entrance to LGBTQ Pride events, thereby excluding many from their own Freedom Day celebrations.
 
         In Los Angeles in June 2022, the cheapest tickets to a Pride concert were $70 and went as high as $500.  After over a half-century of gay community organizing, those prices would exclude even me from attending.

         The above photo was taken on November 22, 1961, at Capistrano (CA) Elementary School, showing ten 4th grade boys and girls touching a gay turkey.  How do we know the turkey was gay?  Take a look at those pecs.  Any being with pecs like that must be gay.
 
         Which of those kids do you predict would be the gay-queer one(s)? One out of ten, it is said.
Danny Battista and Don Kilhefner, co-producers of “Gay Tribal Elder,” give deep thanks and humbly express gratitude for another year of edifying weekly e-mailings of the LGBTQ-kind.  We wish you Happy Gobble! Gobble!—even to those eating Tofu Turkey Thursday.
DON'T WHINE, ORGANIZE!
