As the growing gay mainstream prioritizes the attainment of
straight privilege over all else, it drains queer identity
of any meaning, relevance, or cultural value. What's more,
queers remain under attack: Gay youth shelters can be
vetoed because they might reduce property values. Trannies
are out because they might offend straights. That's
Revolting! offers a bracing tonic to these trends. Edited
by Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore, That's Revolting! collects
timely essays such as "Dr. Laura, Sit on My Face," "Gay Art
Guerrillas," and "Queer Parents: An Oxymoron Or Just Plain
Moronic?" by unrepentant activists like Patrick Califia,
Kate Bornstein, and Carol Queen. This updated edition
contains seven new selections that cover everything from
rural, working-class youth in Massachusetts to gay life in
New Orleans to the infamous Drop the Debt/Stop AIDS action
in New York. This lively composite portrait of cutting-edge
queer activism is a clarion call for anyone who questions
the value of becoming the Stepford Homosexual.
