Montreal-Today, we swallowed down pink and black pills. Sadly, the dark overtook the pink, at the edge of the gay pride parade. Our lights burnt out in a moment of protest, but also in a moment of questioning. If we fell one by one in the middle of the party, it is in the memory of all the forgotten or hidden realities in this big gay nation: why do we avoid talking about conjugal violence in same sex couples? Suicide among queer youth? The under-representation of women and people of color in the so-called rainbow community? Homophobia that is still very present among youth? How pink capitalism is becoming more and more rabid and enrooted as the dominant model? Immaculate white male professionals, representing the patriarchal figure incarnate? etc. Does all of this make you dance?

CMAQ: Vie associative


Collectif à Québec: n'existe plus.

Impliquez-vous !

 

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
