Or to put it another way:
In Marvellous Melbourne, expressions of interest are being sought with regards the formation of an anarchist queer / queer anarchist group. It is presently The Collective With No Name, and is “open to anybody who identifies as Queer, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Pansexual, Trans, Intersexual, Cisgender, Two Spirit, Androgyne, Genderqueer, Genderfuck, Fa’afafine*, non-heterosexual” and so on and so forth.
A blog is apparently being published, and meetings of interested parties organised (to be held, as I understand it, @ the ‘Melbourne Anarchist Resource Centre’, 62 St Georges Rd, Northcote). According to the riotous queer responsible: “The aim is to incorporate a stronger Queer perspective into the Anarcho [‘anarchist’] movement and to provide a space where Queer Anarchists can freely address issues important to their struggle”.
