Queercore

Awhile back, one of my friends showed me this pamphlet published by S.C.A.B, the Society for the Complete Annihilation of Breeders. I'll let you look for yourself:

Of course, I was initially very shocked, and a little upset, although as that wore off I began to think that they couldn't possibly be serious.

I later came to the conclusion that they were, although not in the way I had first. Something weird happens when subaltern groups say outrageous things. They were serious about saying something, by using their unique position to reveal the bigotry of the radical discourses that we are used to hearing. In an ideal world, any anti-gay literature would seem as bizarre as this. However, I could also see how violence in any discourse is harmful. I'm surprised I've spent so much time trying to figure out one group in a tiny party called queercore, but I suppose that's what they wanted.
