A discussão sobre a pertinência da capa mascarando o que mais importa: em tempos de reorganização global do sistema sexo-gênero/regime heterossexual (inclusive naquilo que conserva de supremacismo branco), tal escolha é intencional — um cavalo de Troia anti-woke com rostinho de michê da BelAmi.

Não por acaso, é um dos tópicos com as teorizações mais instigantes nos estudos queers/das masculinidades — tanto em suas manifestações mais explícitas quanto nas suas interações homoeróticas (acho que a rigidez da moral vitoriana contraposta à dissidência sexual atiça tal investigação).

— Mason Stokes, 'The Color of Sex: Whiteness, Heterosexuality, and the Fictions of White Supremacy'.

Há um artigo muito interessante nesse livro (capítulo 9, 'The historiographical operations of gay rights') que ajuda a pensar esse tópico — inclusive por considerar a centralidade da pauta do 'casamento gay' na construção de certa noção (limitada) de comunidade através da reescritura da história.

Sociologists are going to have a field day here using terms like “permission structure” when discussing how a dark terror of being usurped by social inferiors removes all moral, political and intellectual boundaries for educated professionals who believe their status is threatened.

A small example here but history really is going to judge this whole era as a revolt by very wealthy, important people against the idea that they too are subject to the law, and that there are limits on the level of criminality they can get away with without consequences.

— Sam Rohdie, 'Rocco and His Brothers [Rocco e i suoi fratelli]'.

The use of sexual violence by the right is core to their identity. They use it to reinforce patriarchal norms by degrading women and reifying gendered hierarchies. Then they deploy the alleged threat of it by immigrants to justify white nationalist policies. It helps ensure white male supremacy.

Big Bang Love, Juvenile A (2006) is Takashi Miike swerving miles out of his lane in a repulsive, sweat-soaked arthouse jailhouse of homoerotic hatred and vicious, violent sexuality. Hideous queerness, shaped in cruelty and abuse, begging for a gentle touch. I’m unfortunately very obsessed.

This one has been a passion project of mine for years — it took Curt eight years to get the funds to finish postproduction, only for it to barely get a release before his passing from AIDS. Our restoration will finally bring one of the best queer indie films of the 70s the audience it deserves...

O mais curioso desse discurso é a menção recorrente à série “gay” do momento como potencial resolução (desperdiçada) de uma controvérsia da qual ela é sintoma. Como lembrou Matthew Sini, esse fenômeno “parece menos uma celebração da homossexualidade que uma reorganização da fantasia heterossexual”.

"deconstructing gender roles" to most people means nothing about familial relations or heteronormativity or altering your sexed body or interventions in gendered labour anyway. it means wearing different clothes and posting it on instagram for marketing deals

gender abolition? gender abolitionists are [in theory] sex abolitionists! but in practice many self proclaimed gender abolitionists believe gender is placed on top of a natural prediscursive sex, thus they reinforce gender by clinging to its "last refuge", the sexed body. a shame! not enough bite.

sex abolition ✅️ sex is the gendering of the body ✅️ sexing the body is the last refuge of the regime of gender biopolitics ✅️ sounds sci fi. old school utopian 60s feminist stuff ✅️ terrifies many men ✅️ sublates the family to communize care btwn all sentient beings ✅️ ends heteronormativity

A reorganização global da supremacia branca como linha de frente do capitalismo em seu estágio agônico.

Uma pérola do adolescer queer.

Te entendo, Soda... 🤭 ['Our Colorful Days', de Gengoroh Tagame.]

and as a former RWer, I can't stress enough: they know they're doing this two-step, and they take glee in doing it to you. until there's a meaningful moment of "liberals inflicting pain upon, and not apologizing to conservatives for doing it", there will be no change.

Maybe another way to put it is: most conservatives and RWers are in an existential battle with modernity for their values, and many liberals are not. So 4-8 years of GOP power are ideological warfare, and then they retreat to "hey now, what about discourse and debate", and some liberals buy it.

“The Left needs to rediscover its patriotism” is corporate centrist speak for abandon any critique of white supremacist, patriarchal, colonist capitalism and embrace liberal mythologies that run cover for authoritarian exploitation here and around the world. In other words, stop being leftists.

I have a chip on my shoulder about this kind of thing, but what bothers me most about this toothless example is that Pride was in part a calculated effort to get people to come out in order to build solidarity and break straight culture's ability to blackmail and coerce us by threatening to out us.

They don’t know we are becoming powerful. Every time we kiss we confirm the new world coming. * sharing this gorgeous, glorious poem by Essex Hemphill as part of my Pride Month celebration—

É sempre um gay e uma loira!

Sempre digo que falta à esquerda no parlamento, sobretudo diante de adversários talhados na arte do corte viralizável em rede social, um quê de baixaria, de encenação de programa vespertino de barraco, de retórica Clodovil (só que vermelha), de deboche. Estamos aprendendo.

A Sâmia e a Melchionna lá atrás! 🤣
