Press Release:
"The Against Equality editorial collective is excited to announce our first book project, Against Equality: Queer Critiques of Gay Marriage. This pocket-sized anthology of writing compiles many of the essays in the marriage section of our digital archives. We are self-publishing this book and it will soon be available through a small handful of independent distributors.
The essays will be published along side striking visuals specially commissioned for the anthology and our hope is that releasing them as a published book allows our critiques to reach a greater audience. The cultural lives of books are very different from that of online texts and the credibility that comes with printed matter still far exceeds the weight of blogging. We are also particularly interested in reaching people with little or no access to high speed Internet browsing like people in prison, older generations, and those living in rural areas.
Edited by Ryan Conrad and with an introduction by Yasmin Nair, this first book focused on gay marriage is just the beginning of our publishing projects! By making as many of the texts in our digital archives available in printed editions, we hope to create even more time and space to have critical dialog about our most radical queer futures and to revive the queer political imagination."

Film & Video program
Artist Television Access (ATA), 992 Valencia St, San Francisco, CA
August 16th, 2009. 3:00PM, $5
A nostalgic wet dream of bodily ambivalence. These films and videos explore the mythic, perpetual adolescence of queers. They invite all of us to lock the bathroom door and take a full-length look at our awkward, sexy bodies…forever. From bad FTM performance art to shrinking suburban violets… From gauzy, shared periods on a separatist hilltop to a violent cum downpour at Carrie White’s prom... Crack your voices and your Clearasil cuz it’s time to get sticky, angsty, and isolated. 2good+2be=4gotten. Programmed by: Jen Smith, Chris Vargas, and Greg Youmans.
HRC Hates you stickers
Novermber 2007
Stickers made in conjunction with “HRC Sweatshop Playland,” a direct action organized by Gay Shame SF and LA GAI– Queer Insurrection, in November 2007. The action brought attention to the Human Rights Campaign’s (HRC) continuous exploitation of sweatshop labor in the manufacturing of its store’s merchandise. The action also coincided with protests around the country against the HRC’s endorsement of a gender non-inclusive version of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA), moving through Congress at that time. The non-inclusive version of the bill would would leave transgender and gender non-conforming workers without a basis for legal recourse in cases of workplace discrimination. The stickers were made in response to this shameful slight to a large portion of the LGBT community that already experiences disproportionate discrimination and unemployment.
