"The debt crisis of the South is one element of the current process of destruction. Inthethird world as a result of dependence on the North, relatively more is always spent on interest payments to the banks in the North than on satisfying elementary human needs. To pass off the policy of the North toward the South as exporting "civilization" is perverse..

What do you think can be done to stop this backward step?

OutRage! is delighted to hear that there is so much support for the museum. The lives and stories of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people have been largely ignored and even written out of the ‘official’ history books. Much of history has been ‘sanitised’ of our queer lives and this project will be an invaluable resource in reclaiming much of it.Queeruption 6 against fascism
