Because we know that it's possible to realize our dreams in a hostile world, we should also be able to envision all sorts of ways of being. Let's make sure that our communities maintain our thorny differences. And let's not ever forget what it feels like to be rejected, hated and physically attacked. Because if it's not happening to us today, it's happening to someone else. We live in a society where someone is always being placed on the margins, and a politics of love can help us to maintain a connection to the world around us.
Love is the vital life and yet untapped potential of queer revolutions.
It can start to connect fragmented peoples and groups. It respects them and gains energy and strength from the ways we diverge as well as the ways we come together. A politics of love has the power to shift a revolutionary struggle from one based on identity to one based on the intensity of our experiences and the deep commitment to our survival. It's time for the love revolution. Set it off.
