PINK PRESS RELEASE by queer killjoys (archived from february 2024)
06.02.2024
BOON WURRUNG COUNTRY
SOVEREIGNTY NEVER CEDED
BOOTLICKERS!
Sunday’s performance by Naarm’s staunchest queers was not for the pigs BUT FOR US. & this “UGLY RABBLE” has MORE TO SAY.
OUR PRIDE: we went out to protect our queer community. Though “queer” bootlickers GRAB SLAP TRIP HECKLE ABUSE & SPIT ON their com-munity. All day the state was throbbing to the GAWKGAWK of cocksucking homo gentri: A GAY SHAME. We came to protect our queer community even when those same queers BASHED By cops in ‘78 march beside their oppressors.
COPS K!LL QUEERS. ASSIMILATION equals death
MIDSUMMA NEEDS BOOTLICKERS: WE DONT NEED MIDSUMMA. Did those boots taste as sweet as our solidarity? The LOVE we showed each other made the pigs tremble. Comi$$ioner Shame Patton is scared sh!tless and he should be—HIS PERSONAL P.R. STUNT WAS SPOILED. That pinkwash is giving him a rash
And Gayshame Baton’s detectives are poking around in the dark if they truly don’t know what we’re protesting. THOUSANDS of signatures TELL his little piggiez to F*CK OFF: we heed our ancestors and we have been screaming PIGS OUT for over 2 decades.
COPS K!LL QUEERS. The “inclusion” of cops is the exclusion of everyone else” all of us marginalized by this f*cked up world they police. To “police” a community you must be placed above it: those pigs aint part of our community. MIDSUMMA: COPS bash queers and be cheered!
WE REGRET no police were harmed while our shins were split, chests mol3sted, heads punched, necks choked, arms twisted, thrown to the ground, kicked while down, but “they’ve changed”? F*ck the police.
vicpol KNOW THEIR HISTORY! THEY ARE LIVING IT: the ENFORCERS of transphobia homophobia racism classism ableism every violence of colonization
BUT WE KNOW OURS: RESISTANCE
COPS OUTTA PRIDE. COPS OUTTA EVERYWHERE.
MIDSUMMA like a good colonial enterprise sics cops on us to destroy expressions of queerness it despises—OUR queerness of solidarity & struggle against g3nocidal hatred and violence—a queerness of colour, disabled, trans, Mad, Indigenous, without property AND BEAUTIFUL.
KAREN BRYANT! SHAME PATTON! ALP MINISTERS FOR INEQUALITY AND VIOLENCE! MIDSUMMA AND THE PINKWASH ESTABLISHMENT! BE WARNED: YOUR VIOLENCE IS MIDSUMMA’S MOST-WATCHED EVENT.
FROM THE WEST MELBOURNE VICPOL TOWER TO THE SOUTHSIDE BRUTAL PRISON OF PRIDE—THE COLONY WILL FALL.
PINK dollar PINK state PINK are the pigs we all hate
We’ll fck u up xx
TRANS COPAGANDA TALK CANCELLED (archived from October 2024
What happened? A trans pinkwashing panel sponsored by violent Victoria Police at the ‘Vic Pride Centre’ for next Thursday, was cancelled this week due to dissent, just as we were going to call a protest.
What happened?
- Cops were to hold a stage-managed copaganda event to camouflage their damaged relations with trans and gender diverse people because of their violence
- the ‘sensitive’ panel fell apart as dissent spread
- Dialogue, and reform of cops, is a dailed strategy, proven over decades, because policing is an inherently violent institution
- Te outcome of ‘dialogie’ is a trans flag to pinkwash police violence
POlice are violent. We keep us safe.
- In the white supremacist colony, cops murder Black people at high rates with impunity
- Cops every day enforce colonial, capitalist, violent hierarchies along race/gender/class/ability/sexuality etc
- cops repress liberatory protest: from those against the colony for land back, to free Palestine, to trans liberation
- On MArch 18th last year, cops infanously bashed trans solidarity anti-fascists, while facilitating a nazi transphobe rally. LGBTIQA+liaison cops used their identity to surveil us more.
POLICE ARE VIOLENT. WE KEEP US SAFE.
- Cops, including trns cops, are all members of the reactionary-fascist police association that defends police murder and impunity.
- Cops don’t need a pay rise – they break strikes – we need to end state violence, and fight across struggles to abolish cops!
- Cops are relatively few in number. they rely on hyper-violence, collaboration, snitching, and (particularly white) people deputising themselves as cops.
- We keep us safe. Grassroos networks defended drag storytime, meanwhille cops emboldened threats
- We can weaken police power by growing collective self-defence and by not calling the cops. If we build strong communities of care and mutual aid, police become obsolete.
- It’s no accident that corporate ‘Victorian Pride Centre’ was to again hold a forum pinkwashing violence.
