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.
