Naughty North: December 2008

Calling all performers! Check out the above call for submissions for the Femme Show coming to Maine this Spring!

Points of Unity

We will build friendships and alliances across urban and rural boundaries, celebrating our diversity and micro-cultures while breaking down isolation. Through campouts, work parties, dance parties, sleepovers, farm days, etc, we will create and share a positive queer experience.
We will not only critique targets like corporations, but we will also expose inconsistencies within our social groups and so-called “communities”, in order to grow more toward our radical ideals. Whenever possible, we will use theatrics, humor and satire to communicate and to critique ourselves.
Fighting racism, classism, misogyny, heterosexism, transphobia, ableism, capitalism and all other hierarchies is a central purpose of Naughty North, not an add-on. We will work to create a space where radical queers can challenge these hierarchies and build alliances with other oppressed peoples willing to struggle with us.
We are committed to inter-generational struggle. Radical queer history has been systematically distorted, erased and disappeared by the AIDS genocide and fear. We will re-learn and teach these histories to inform our present and push the boundaries of a new queer activism.
We will confront notions of shame from both the Christian Right and the mainstream gay and lesbian community.
Assimilation is death through erasure. We oppose all forms of assimilation, especially gay marriage and inclusion in the military industrial complex.
Our (direct) actions will not only be fierce and critical, but fun and empowering.
We will create a radical presence at queer events and a queer presence at radical events.
