Queer anarchism: Difference between revisions
I changed the definition from "rejecting unjustified hierarchy" to "rejecting all hierarchy", anarchism (therefore anarcha-queer aswell) is the rejection of all hierarchy. If you said it rejects unjustified hierarchy then literally all ideologies would be anarchism because they oppose what they think is unjustified. I also changed "rejection of heteronormativity" to "rejection of cisheteronormativity".

It advocates for the abolition of [[homophobia]], [[transphobia]], [[enbyphobia]], [[gender]] itself, the [[gender binary]], [[cisheteronormativity]], and the [[patriarchy]]. Queer anarchism as an ideology can be traced back to Adolf Brand, a German anarchist who published the anarchist journal ''Der Eigene'' from 1896-1932, the first gay journal in the world.<ref>''[http://www.williamapercy.com/wiki/images/Hubert_kennedy.pdf Anarchist of Love: The Secret Life of John Henry Mackay]'' by Hubert Kennedy</ref> | ||
Contemporary queer anarchism traces its roots back to the [[queerpunk]] subculture of the late 20th century; punk in general has always attracted a large anarchist following, and queerpunk was no different. Anarcha-queers are in general heavily opposed to [[pink capitalism]], since it still maintains oppressive and exploitative heteronormative, patriarchal institutions while exploiting queer culture for monetary gain. Under pink capitalism poor queer people still struggle to survive, and rich queer people still benefit from oppressive and exploitative institutions. | Contemporary queer anarchism traces its roots back to the [[queerpunk]] subculture of the late 20th century; punk in general has always attracted a large anarchist following, and queerpunk was no different.
