Thank you very much for crafting this piece. I connect on a profound level with what you write here despite the differences in cultures and countries. I believe there is an anti-militaristic and pro-peace sensitivity that is queer beyond gender and sexuality. I hope many people read this. It's a balm.
Thanks darling! There is definitely a queer connection here. I quoted from Minnie Bruce Pratt's essay "Rebellion" but was equally inspired by "Poetry in a Time of War", where she intertwines accounts of demonstrating against the 1990 war in Iraq with experiences of homophobic censorship of her work, that of Mapplethorpe and others, and queer resistance xx
