Nolan Parker, in the 2025 Queer Guide, emphasizes the expansive nature of queerness and the challenges faced in current sociopolitical climates. The theme "Be Gay, Do ____" encourages building community and fighting for rights, drawing inspiration from radical queer ideology. Parker highlights the pressing issues, such as violence against LGBTQ+ individuals and the need for self-advocacy amidst the adversity. By fostering care and envisioning desired realities together, the guide calls for activism informed by mutual understanding and shared experience, encouraging readers to reject simplistic definitions of crime while advocating for justice.
Be gay, do community! Be gay, build networks of care! Be gay, free Palestine!
We take care of us because we know us; we know what we want and need. It's up to you and me-right now-to envision the realities we want to live in.
