  1. Beyond Gay Identity
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 1997
    Gay emancipation will destroy gay identity. This is a good thing, because gay identity sustains gay conformism.
  2. The Emperor's New Penis
    The Same Sexual Threats, the Same Silence for Women

    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2013
    Right now the gender fundamentalists are doing their best to shut down dialogue. They've damaged books — books that don’t even mention their concern — pressured bookstores, and silenced speakers scheduled at universities. It should come as no surprise that they are using the final tactics of all fundamentalists: bullying, threats, assault. And they've done this with increasing frequency and intensity. How long does it take to see the pattern?
  3. The End of Gay?
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 1997
    Gay identity is destined for oblivion once homophobia is overturned.
  4. Feminism and Sadomasochism
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 1981
    Califia says that sadomasochism encourages fluidity and questions the naturalness of binary dichotomies in society.
  5. Fuck Love
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2012
  6. LGBT: a Dissection
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2016
    "LGBT" is everywhere these days. But is it here to stay, or is it a passing fad? Where did it come from? Why was it promoted? By whom? And to what end? How did it acquire its seemingly endless variants? The acronym, in its many permutations, designates a movement very different from the gay liberation movement it evolved from. Some might see it as progress, expansion, and greater inclusivity, others as a tombstone for what was once a radical sexual liberation movement.
  7. Making Gay Redundant
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 1996
    Peter Tatchell suggests that gay identity has nothing to do with biology and everything to do with homophobia. Winning gay freedom will make gay identity redundant.
  8. The New Sexual Radicalism
    Socialist Feminist Questions About Queer Activism

    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2010
    What are the social origins of queer? Does this current have a vision - whether implicit or explicit - of sexual liberation, and if so, what is it? What is its relationship to such emancipatory projects as feminism, antiracism, global justice and socialism?
  9. The Politics of Being Queer
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 1969
    Goodman writes: "On balance, I don't know whether my choice, or compulsion, of a bisexual life has made me especially unhappy or only averagely unhappy. It is obvious that every way of life has its hang-ups, having a father or no father, being married or single, being strongly sexed or rather sexless, and so forth; but it is hard to judge what other people's experience has been, to make a comparison. I have persistently felt that the world was not made for me, but I have had good moments.
  10. The Professor of Parody
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2000
    It is difficult to come to grips with Judith Butler’s ideas because it is difficult to figure out what they are.
  11. Queer Progress
    From Homophobia to Homonationalism

    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 2016
    A political memoir by a leading gay rights and AIDS activist.
  12. A queer take on Safe Schools and identity politics
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2016
    In recent weeks, the debate over the Safe Schools Coalition anti-bullying program has intensified, taking what is in many ways a bizarre turn. The brief suspension of program architect Roz Ward from her position at La Trobe University has reopened the debate about whether Safe Schools is 'cultural Marxism' by stealth, the program once again coming under fire from conservatives across the country. Even trans advocate and member of the ADF Catherine McGregor has weighed in. One of the more interesting elements of this, however, has been the debate it has created about the role gender and sexual politics can and should play within Marxism. Here enters Guy Rundle. In the pages of Crikey, Rundle penned a treatise on the program and what he considers the failures of 'queer theory'. Rundle believes Safe Schools (via queer theory) presents the view that 'gender and sexuality are infinitely fluid'. He argues, however, that such a view denies the material realities of sexuality and gender, not to mention his view that 'almost no-one really believes it -- and they certainly do not let it shape their lives'.
  13. Queer theories and militant practices
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2009
    A critical look at queer theories.
  14. The Reification of Desire
    Toward a Queer Marxism

    Resource Type: Book
    First Published: 2009
    A new theoretical approach to the relationship between Marxism and queer studies.
  15. Review: The Politics of Some Bodies - On "Feminism, Queer Theory and Marxism at the Intersection"
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2017
    At a time when Marxist politics is struggling more than ever against the current, queer Marxist scholarship is enjoying a slight, startling, heartening resurgence. Holly Lewis' The Politics of Everybody is a major contribution to the trend.
  16. SexSources.ca
    Resource Type: Website
    First Published: 2017
    A web portal featuring sexuality resources: articles, websites, books. The home page features a selection of recent and important articles. A search feature, subject index, and other research tools make it possible to find additional resources and information.
  17. Théories et militantismes queer : réflexion à partir de l'exemple français
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2009
  18. Toward A Queer Marxism?
    Against The Current vol. 151

    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2011
    Scholarly approaches to sexuality since the 1980s have become increasingly divorced from practical sexual politics, and both have largely given up on earlier attempts to engage with Marxism. Now this may be changing. A stimulating new book by Kevin Floyd maintains that people in queer studies are paying more attention to Marxism’s “explanatory power.” From the activist side, Sherry Wolf of the International Socialist Organization (ISO) has made an impressive effort to sum up LGBT (lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgender) theory and practice from a Marxist perspective.
  19. What's Left of Queer?: Immigration, Sexuality, and Affect in a Neoliberal World
    Resource Type: Article
    First Published: 2012
    We need to refuse the narratives of abjection that are routinely forced upon us. They only render us immobile creatures, begging for help. We are all neoliberals now. We're all selling our bodies, our lives, our stories to the media and to provide comfort to ourselves. Those stories have to be challenged and reworked or we lose sight of the larger story of economic exploitation, at our peril.

Mission Connexions exists to support individuals and groups working for freedom and social justice. We work to maintain and make available a record of the theory and practice of people struggling against oppression and for social change. We believe that the more we know about the struggles, victories, and defeats of the past, and about those who took part in them, the better equipped we will be to bring a new world into being. Connexions maintains a physical archive of books and documents, and is engaged in an ongoing project to build and expand an indexed digital archive of documents. We try to feature a wide variety of resources reflecting a diversity of viewpoints and approaches to social change within our overall mandate of support for democracy, civil liberties, freedom of expression, universal human rights, secularism, equality, economic justice, environmental responsibility, and the creation and preservation of community. We are internationalist in our orientation, but as a Canadian-based project we feature an especially extensive collection of Canadian documents and profiles of Canadian activist organizations.
