When the Army Welcomed Gays
The armed forces haven’t always excluded gays. They were often accepted during WW2. Here is the story of gay private, Dudley Cave.
Military
Against Queer Militarism
Against the gay establishment’s flag-waving, assimilationist campaign for queers in the military.
Perverse Military Values?
The armed forces is an oppressive institution. That is why the campaign against military homophobia must include a commitment to democratic reform.
Questioning Military Machismo – Against Queer Conformism
Lesbian and gay support for the armed forces is evidence of queer collusion with straight culture.
Army of Injustice
The armed forces help sustain homophobia and injustice. Lesbians and gay men should refuse to serve in an oppressive straight institution that tramples on human rights.
Casting a Critical Queer Eye over the Military
Instead of enthusiastically embracing oppressive straight institutions like the military, gay people should adopt a more sceptical, discerning attitude.
A Duty to Refuse Military Service
The armed forces symbolise the worst aspects of straight male machismo and are incompatible with gay liberation.
