hi, did you know this is how gay anarchists commemorated J. Edgar Hoover’s death?

The “Faggots and faggotry” in that cursive font is sending me

[One of the] the first “queer content” zine was called Faggots and Faggotry. It was a
New York zine produced in the early 70s by Ralph Hall, active in the
Gay Activists Alliance, a post-Stonewall radical gay movement. The zine
was filled with homoerotic line drawings, poetry and political
commentary. The content was largely personal reflections on love,
sexuality and politics. Billed as the offering of “limp-wristed
revolutionaries” and produced by FIRM, “Faggots International
Revolutionary Movement” it’s an impressive zine of its time, a precursor
to 80s zines that would fuse lifestyle and politics into a synergistic
queer anarchist sensibility.
