Facts
Of
LGBT
Existence
A word from your editor.
Conforming to cishet's idea of proper, correct, and acceptable LGBT
existence, is becoming more and more commonplace.
But what does this do? This isn't just conforming to being
"nonthreatening" to the status quo, but also conforming to capitalism
and therefore, allowing for our exploitation.
Not only will this hurt the vast majority of LGBT people (as most of
us are working class)
But this will only further the oppression of the ones who cannot
conform.
what are you scared of?
Not being accepted?
You already aren't.
Fact:
Being trans is good

heads to point to the youth (without much
specificity) and shout “Our future! Our

argue, that we’re also the past? While we are
the next generation, we are also a reflection
of the failures of those behind us. LGBT
elders, (or in this case, elder-er, as they can
even be just a few years our senior) and the
cishets, we reflect all their failures and wins.
We reflect the generations before us, the ones
without mentors and people to watch, and we
reflect the cruelty of the current elders upon
ourselves. We reflect the voices and the
words, the ideas and concepts of all the
groups. We reflect both the strong negativity

Gay and Trans liberation.
When was the last time, when you’re hanging out at the Q
center or hanging out at your school and college’s LGBT union or
GSA, and you saw the word “Liberation”?
Not much. Its been 44 years since Dawson’s “Gay Liberation:
A socialist perspective.” Said pamphlet is just one example of
the LGBT community seeking not “acceptance” or tolerance, but
liberation.
Liberation is defined, by Oxford, as:
Oppression! Can we not admit that we are oppressed? Most would
say LGBT people are a class because of our shared oppression
(prolonged cruel or unjust treatment.) Then why are we seeking out
Acceptance?
Do we want to be adequate? Do we want to be suitable? Do we
want to be admitted into a group of our oppressors? Is that what we
seek? An oppressor will oppress without anything to stop them. Merely
seeking acceptance, seeking to join the class as “suitable” will not
stop said oppressors. And who will they continue to oppress, you might
ask? Those who are not suitable!
Liberation, intersectionality, through revolution, is the only
way we will ever truly free ourselves from oppression!
Bring back liberation! Toss out those ideas of acceptance and
tolerance, bring back your voice! Don’t be scared to be the loud,
open, bold and visible gays and trans people. Ones that discuss their
oppression without self-censoring for the sake of our oppressor’s
feelings.
Most importantly, remember:
You are not at fault of your own oppression and discrimination.
Even if you are loud! Even if you do not pass as cisgender! Even if
you are the butchest dyke to ever have lived! Even if you are
effeminate and unwilling to change your ways! Even if you choose not
to be what the oppressors ask of you. You are not at fault. We are not
at fault and you must work, will all your might, to make sure that we
have each other!
Bring back the liberation!

Interview:
Google Fred Hampton
Art by Andy Roloff (Insta: rats.on.email)
- What type of music do you make?
Google Fred Hampton is a punky mix whatever we’re all vibing to, and
that’s often putting our activism into music, the growing fights
against capitalism and authoritarianism for the safety of our future
are a huge inspiration to us all, and by putting it into music, we can
make our voices heard in a whole different way. We call this
Laborcore.
- Where can you be found?
We can we found on Instagram (@Google_Fred_Hampton) and we will be
playing a show at @TrashHallPDX on December 13th, with a whole bunch
of amazing local bands.
- Where can your music be found?
We have an awful demo up now on Bandcamp
(https://googlefredhampton.bandcamp.com/album/shitdicks-come-in-threes
-demo) and YouTube
(https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWwqX_D0zwQYo2424Pjsk4QE_nzJvC
pfc) but more music is in the process of being made, and being
recorded better
- The topic of this issue is LGBT Liberation. What is your
relationship to this concept? How do you mean to aid in this
issue?
Pretty much everyone in our band is queer and/or trans and we seek to
kick all transphobic, homophobic, toxicly masculine pieces of shit out
of this scene, and out of this city. We will fight for LGBT liberation
by any means necessary.
- Thoughts on class war? (This question comes from the artist above,
Andy)
The 'class war' is already happening every day and we have a
responsibility to protect poor and working class people, and to fight
for our own liberation.
Fact:
Being gendernonconforming is good
Fact:
The bourgeois are not our allies.
Their existence limits true LGBT
liberation.
We are One with the working
class.
