Gay Shame

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.

As of 21 June 2021, their website seems to have been replaced with a Japanese Porn page.

Positions

 * Supports anti-psychiatry.
 * Opposes marriage in any form, including same sex marriage.The Gay Shame movement believe that marriage supports a traditional heterosexual world image and that assimilation into this institution perpetuates erasure of homosexual culture.
 * Opposes what they call the "non-profit industrial complex" of LGBT groups, for having an "authoritarian and ageist structure that gives power to older, largely male LGBT people" while exploiting and claiming to speak for youth, careerism and professionalism, and promoting "gentrification" such as gay business districts.
 * Should not support gay pride when it is used to mask less progressive policies.
 * Believes gay pride is based on stereotypes and caricatures. This often implies highly sexualised behaviour with many within the gay community being categorized into 'tribes' whereby their identity is reduced to sexual appeal. This can lead to unhealthy body image amongst LGBT youth.
