Demonstrating the high level of political con- sciousness that exists within the LGBTQ2S com- munities and their organizations, the Reclaim Pride marchers’ demands reflected not only issues of im- mediate concern to the communities themselves — in particular, the ongoing violence against trans people, especially trans women of color — but also the militaristic imperialist policies of the U.S., like the ongoing attempts to overthrow the democrati- cally elected pro-socialist government of Venezuela. And now, a year later, that same high level of con- sciousness is visible in the magnificent mass mobi- lizations of anti-racist youth and their allies in every nook and cranny of this big country and, in dramatic shows of international solidarity, all across the globe.

  • Pluralistic Struggles in Gender, Sexuality and Coloniality
    Pluralistic Struggles in Gender, Sexuality and Coloniality Challenging Swedish Exceptionalism Edited by Erika Alm · Linda Berg Mikela Lundahl Hero · Anna Johansson Pia Laskar · Lena Martinsson Diana Mulinari · Cathrin Wasshede Pluralistic Struggles in Gender, Sexuality and Coloniality “There is a hegemonic narrative of Sweden as an exemplary and exceptional feminist nation-state, one that exists in a secular, migrant-friendly, and market-friendly, liberal democracy. Yet this narrative’s racial and religious exclusions and conflicts— of which there are many—have led feminists and LGBTQ activists to question the terms of normative belonging, and to probe the tensions and frictions of contemporary Sweden. This necessary and powerful collection of essays reveals both the exclusions of this exceptionalist national narrative, one that the editors and authors trenchantly term “neocolonial,” and the demands of feminist, queer and trans artists, researchers, migrants, and activists striving to produce lives that think a different Sweden: of communities that are plural, transnational, multi-racial, transformative, radical and ever-changing. —Inderpal Grewal Professor Emerita, Yale University Erika Alm • Linda Berg Mikela Lundahl Hero Anna Johansson • Pia Laskar Lena Martinsson Diana Mulinari • Cathrin Wasshede Editors Pluralistic Struggles in Gender, Sexuality and Coloniality Challenging Swedish Exceptionalism Editors Erika Alm Linda Berg Department of Cultural Sciences Umeå Centre for Gender Studies University of Gothenburg Umeå University Gothenburg,

  • Stonewall Riots 1 Stonewall Riots
    Stonewall riots 1 Stonewall riots The Stonewall riots were a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay community[2] against a police raid that took place in the early morning hours of June 28, 1969, at the Stonewall Inn in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of New York City. They are widely considered to constitute the single most important event leading to the gay liberation movement and the modern fight for gay and lesbian rights in the United States. Gay Americans in the 1950s and 1960s faced a legal system more anti-homosexual than those of some Warsaw Pact countries.[3][4] Early homophile groups in the U.S. sought to prove that gay people could be assimilated into society, and they favored non-confrontational education for homosexuals and heterosexuals alike. The last years of the 1960s, however, were very contentious, as many social movements were active, including the African American Civil Rights Movement, the Counterculture of the 1960s, and antiwar demonstrations. These influences, along with the liberal environment of Greenwich Village, served as catalysts for the Stonewall riots. The Stonewall Inn, taken September 1969. The Very few establishments welcomed openly gay people in the 1950s sign in the window reads: "We homosexuals and 1960s.
