Gay Shame is a self-described direct action movement that seeks "nothing less than a new queer activism that foregrounds race, class, gender and sexuality, to counter the self-serving 'values' of gay consumerism and the increasingly hypocritical left."

In other words, these folks see mainstream gay rights activism as being too bourgeois and liberal in nature; instead of working for a greater inclusion of queer people in contemporary society, Gay Shame wants to fundamentally change that society.
