Rather, the essays -- each in its own way -- persistently and consistently ask them and explore the answers. The collection starts with Ryan Conrad's "Gay Marriage and Queer Love," which deals with gay marriage and queer love, their rhetoric, and the way the rainbow-flavored, blood-glucose-level-raising neoliberalism has affected trans folks and radical queers through its gay marriage and equal rights campaigns. Although Conrad doesn't claim to provide any answers or solutions to the current situation of queer people in the US, he argues for creating more time and space to ask some vital questions and thus becoming more open when it comes to the queer critique of marriage and imagining alternative worlds that meet queer people's needs, both the affective and material ones: Rogue's "De-essentializing Anarchist Feminism: Lessons from the Transfeminist Movement" ; the pressure queer folks may experience when they aren't "up to standards" when it comes to queering their sexuality and being polyamorous "enough"; the perversity of having to deal with the same original hierarchic relations but in an inverted way; and above all, the queer anarchism seen as an unbinding social form that can virtually challenge state conceptions, such as compulsive possession and property Abbey Volcano's "Police at the Borders," Susan Song's "Polyamory and Queer Anarchism: Infinite Possibilities for Revolution" ; gender fluidity and the way it can challenge the oppression imposed by the social constructs that are perceived as "natural," when in fact they are anything but natural Stacy aka Sallydarity's "Gender Sabotage" ; and a pretty inflammatory piece, I'd say, on the questioning of the invisible borders that are likely to be mapped out when caught in the compulsion to oppose things just because opposition seems to be the best way to challenge the status quo Jamie Heckert's "Anarchy without Opposition".

Farhang Rouhani's "Lessons from Queertopia" argues about the importance of autonomous queer collectives but also about the need for more extensive approaches when it comes to dealing with the divisiveness that is bound to appear in any queer dynamics. Laying Capitalism Bare" focuses on the ways capitalism oppresses sex workers, conveniently hidden behind its smokescreen of false concepts such as imagined choice and individual's freedom: Confronting the normativity of the able body, the construction of the so-called bodily normalcy, and the labels that put people with disabilities into a disciplinary box aka marginalized group , "Queer-Crippling Anarchism: Intersections and Reflections on Anarchism, Queerness and Dis-ability" argues that disability and queerness are inextricably interconnected to the point that they should both be perceived as being fluid states that can push the anarchist history and politics towards a new direction regarding social justice.

Queering Anarchism: Addressing and Undressing Power and Desire by C.B. Daring

Concerned with the relationship between being a radical queer and also becoming a part of the class struggle and stressing the importance of creating a more holistic queer practice that challenges "classism" and identity politics, "Radical Queers and Class Struggle: Or do we directly engage in class struggle with the rest of the working class and see our liberation as inextricably linked with the liberation of all?

This is also a question somewhat answered by "Straightness Must Be Destroyed," a text handling the internal contradictions triggered by the monocracy of straightness and internalized hierarchies on the expense of the queerness thought to dwell within each of us, in one form or another.

Queering Anarchism

Becerra's piece "Sex and the City: Beyond Liberal Politics and toward Holistic Revolutionary Practice" comes with a rather stingy outlook for those interested in diving beyond the shallowness of a mainstream movie that caused so much mass hysteria worldwide, while "Tearing Down the Walls: Queerness, Anarchism and the Prison Industrial Complex" stresses the importance of transformative justice practices and strategies, both short-termed and long-termed, including the attrition model, decriminalization, and excarceration.

Drawing on the relationship between the consent-based sexual plays that seek to challenge the "normal" power distribution in authority fueled relationships sexual and non-sexual ones and the possibility to use these plays in order to understand our internalized oppression and come up with ways to dismantle it, "Anarchy, BDSM and Consent-based Culture" is a genuine temptation to become better at practicing consent, starting with your own social context:
