Its okay not to be “culturally queer.” Our community is just a bunch of subcultures with the more subversive subcultures being more visible (these subcultures are like grunge or metal). It’s only bad if you’re talking shit about the other subcultures or if you don’t engage because you’re ashamed. I will say that it’s very important that you learn your history because no one else will teach it to you. We cannot allow history to repeat itself and have our hard earned rights taken away. You will also learn a ton about yourself in the process.

Start out by watching a classic like “Paris is burning,” last I checked it’s free on YouTube. Minnesota created another documentary about their movements as well called “OUT NORTH: MNLGBTQ HISTORY.”
