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

Statement on the murder of two gay men in so-called sydney by cop Beau Lamarre-Condon (archived from February 2024)

Our heartfelt condolences are with Luke and Jesse’s loved ones at this time. We hope they, and all victims of police brutality, find justice.

A NSW cop, Beau Lamarre, is pictured here partying in uniform at Mardi Gras 2020.

Yesteday (23/02/2024) Beau Lamarre was charged with the murder of two gay men, Jesse Baird and Luke Davies. Jesse Baird was Lamarre’s former partner. It is alleged that Lamarre used his police firearm to commit the murders.

The killer cop has a history of police brutality and impunity from consequences. He got away with repeatedly tasering Aboriginal man Kris Bradshaw in 2020. extreme violence against intimate partners is a norm amongst cops, not an anomaly. Not only are there systemic barriers to reporting family violence incidents perpetrated by the cops, but research has consistently shown that the number of convictions amongst those cops reported for family violence is alarmingly low.

Furthermore, the prison system is no solution to the root cause of violence.

Cops outta pride. Cops outta communities. Cops outta everywhere. #copskillqueers
