Oh, great. Now I have a blog! Now I have to take care of it every day! Writing as if everybody in the world will read it when probably nobody in the world will.

And I thought my church was exciting!
You wanna know how I know they're gay? They have a Myspace page.

Maybe it gets really lonely for those guys in the ice fishing huts during the cold Michigan winters...
All I can say is that I hope they hold their "Radical Queer Convergence" in Detroit or somewhere up there - I don't think that's the kind of convention business that's good for economic development.
The following comes from Wiki. I think the Church Lady's comment would be "Well, isn't that special?"
Bash Back! is a network of radical, anti-authoritarian queer projects within the United States. Bash Back! seeks to critique the ideology of mainstream GLBTQ movement, which the group sees as dedicated to obtaining straight privilege by assimilation into the dominant institutions of a heteronormative society. Bash Back! chapters employ direct action to confront capitalism and all interrelated forms of oppression, especially focusing on exposing the gay mainstream and the dangers of gay assimilationism and homonormativity. Bash Back! is noticeably influenced by the anarchist movement and other radical queer groups, such as ACT UP and Gay Shame. Many within the group also draw significant inspiration from events like the Stonewall Riots and the White Night Riots.
According to their news website, anyone can form a Bash Back! chapter as long as they adhere to the basic points of unity:
1. Fight for liberation. Nothing more, nothing less. State recognition in the form of oppressive institutions such as marriage and militarism are not steps toward liberation but rather towards heteronormative assimilation. 2. A rejection of Capitalism, Imperialism, and all forms of State power. 3. Actively oppose oppression both in and out of the “movement.” All oppressive behavior is not to be tolerated. 4. Respect a diversity of tactics in the struggle for liberation. Do not solely condemn an action on the grounds that the State deems it to be illegal.
