As Boston police continue to increase their presence in the fens (a long-time popular public sex space) the question of public sex is coming up over and over again. The mainstream gay press in Boston (Baywindows) has done an embarrassing job of covering the issue and speaking out in support of cruising and public sex. The more the major “gay and lesbian rights” groups push for legitimation through marriage and other hetero-patriarchal structures the more we lose our capacity to stand in solidarity with all those who queer sex, sexuality, relationships, gender, and so on. It’s exciting to see folks in the UK doing some cool grassroots organizing around keeping their spaces safer for queers. The above article may seem somewhat watered down but I think the message is clear to police, leave us alone and allow us to go about our sexualities as we please! To the queers who are looking to maintain a legitimate image, remember what solidarity is about. Sexual repression is part of the violence of our culture, we must remember as sexual outcasts to keep pushing our own boundaries of inclusion.
