A queer collective is forming and we want you! We are ready for community building and direct action in Durham and across the Triangle! We would <3 for you to join us at our first meeting on Tuesday, May 19, 2009!
A handful have gathered to discuss forming the organization, and some of y’all have met us through our ad hoc action to greet busloads of evangelicals on March 3, 2009, as they defended marriage at the State Capitol.
Now we’re in for the long haul, and we aim to build our community through such events as:
-
Monthly Queer Movie Nights (outdoors is a must this time of year!)! *
- Queer Alt-Pride in Conjunction with NC Pride 2009!
- A Burlesque Troupe!
- Queer Camp (camping, hiking, skillshares, alternative futures)!
- Youth outreach!
- Hot, sweet direct action!
- Collaborating with collectives across the state!
- And any project YOU can dream up!
We want you to bring your ideas for the organization to the table as we revive the group on Tuesday, May 19, 2009, from 7:00-9:00 p.m.! We will meet at the public square on Corcoran Street between West Main and Parrish Streets (directly across the street from the SunTrust Building).
We will spend our time devising the name for our organization that night and then discuss and solidify our work plans for the upcoming months and weeks!
<3!
We are a queer collective working to create a space for queer organizing that is not racist, classist, gender-preferential, ableist, body fascist, etc. We’ve formed in 2009 with interest in direct action, protest, radically challenging traditional gay/queer politics, and presenting a bold visual front to anti-LGBTQI movements.

IF IT RAINS: let’s meet at Forest Hills Park on University Drive (http://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&q=forest+hills+park+durham&fb=1&split=1&gl=us&cid=4142749933774368519&li=lmd&ll=35.981739,-78.911898&spn=0.009567,0.015707&z=16&iwloc=A) - given that the weather forecast says no chance of rain on Tuesday, let’s say that’s unlikely to happen!
