Mind the Empire is still falling.
However a minor positive adjustment
has been made for now.
We may still eventually hit bottom.
Just not as fast or hard as before.
There is so much still to do.
This time we have an organized
armed insurgency.
One that wants not just to out vote us
But to kill us.
This ride has just begun.
What was the name of the Neo-Nazi BL group you mentioned in an earlier post, and what was their 'Zine called? I'd love to know if I ever heard of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Uncle!
I don't recall...it gave itself a German name in honor of da fatherland. It had photos of Hitler youth, and contemporary images of boys in Klan outfits. The Zine itself is lost to history. like so many of mine.
ReplyDeleteHowever like mine they may well have ended up in University Libraries. Mine had faeries not swastikas.
I'm not sure this is over. I think I prefer not to get too excited just yet.

I hope you're all caught up on your sleep, Sidney. Sleep deprivation is terrible.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds pretty weird about the neo-Nazi zine, but I've heard stuff as weird as that before. For instance, by word of mouth I know of a Hitler youth leader who was making out pretty well as a BL in the time of the Reich, significantly less persecuted than he would have been later in the US. One of history's ironies.
It'd be interesting to have a look at those zines. I hope those libraries conserve their copies.

Well the copies of my 'Zines, and little chap books of Angel, and Queer faerie drawings were removed.
ReplyDeleteThis from the Gay Archive here in NYC,...they returned my things after having them for over 10 years.
I sent my stuff to a similar outfit in San Francisco.
These were I heard outright destroyed. I can imagine the meeting of lesbian separatists that decided their fate.
Assorted University Libraries still have my work,...esp. in Europe.
As well as many examples of post-Stonewall small publications.
So it's possible our Nazi pal's fantasy dream of Fourth Reich BL heaven also still lives in a cabinet somewhere.
As for myself I have near no examples of my own works other than Xerox copies, and what's online. My homeless period, and the attrition of life consumed them.
The works of Queer artists are traditionally destroyed by their estates upon their deaths. This is why we have so little memory of who we were.
Individual examples of 40 years of my art may survive to another age. Likely unattributed. Fine. Maybe a 'Zine here a fragment online or a Xerox copy of an individual Queer faerie or Angel.
This shoved into a forgotten book.
Perhaps to be found by a Queer 14 year old lad in another century or so. This would be more than enough for me.
