In the context of a renewed interest in the history of the Witch-hunts and the rise of Christian civilization, this book offers a significant contribution. In recent years, anti-capitalists and pagans alike have explored a radical analysis of these histories and have worked to understand the conditions by which patriarchy and capitalism have developed together as two heads of the same monstrosity. This line of inquiry is perhaps best illustrated by the relatively widespread reading and...

The fight for same sex marriage is not a new one. In this week’s episode, we go to 16th cent Rome where the first same sex marriage in recorded western history took place. The 11 folks involved each had complex histories and a variety of relationships. They may have met a tragic end, but their stories have the power to inspire and educate on the spectrum and history of sexuality. UNCENSORED. Violence, homophobia, sexual content, and lots of bad words

The manifesto and yard sign/poster for the movement to turn the Hiawatha Golf Course in S. Minneapolis into a public cruising ground. The sign is sized to be printed at 18" x 24", so you may need to mess with it if you want to print it on paper. Two versions of the manifesto are included, one formatted for screen and one for printing. The cover for the manifesto is a separate file which is a little clunky, but makes it easier to print the cover in color and the insides b/w. For more...

On February 5th, 1981, 200 agents with the Metro Toronto Police raided four gay bathhouses. This caused a crisis in the relationship between the emerging queer community and an increasingly militarized police force. Thousands of people in Toronto were furious at the raids, and city council responded by demanding an official inquiry. As the matter was before the courts, Mayor Art Eggleton appointed Arnold Bruner to conduct a broad study, including comparisons to other jurisdictions such as...

Consisting of essays, art pieces, and poetry, the 'zine is designed to draw attention to the queer people at Harding who are repeatedly subjugated and ignored by the administration. Since 2011, Queer Press has played an important role in pressuring the Harding community to talk about queer issues. With this third edition, we hope to reignite that discussion on campus. We demand that Harding University...

The original HU Queer Press created a zine called State of the Gay in 2011. It started with a journey to visit an old friend in Chicago, then morphed into the dream of starting a movement. Once the anonymous zine was completed and released, it was blocked from Harding servers, which sparked the interest of the media. Now it is being reborn. Though we are a new group of students with new ideas, we still have the same goal: the acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community. We want this publication to spark...
