Theya re not satisfied with a commercialized gay identity that denies the intrinsic links between queer struggle and challenging power. They seek 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. Gay Shame meets every Saturday in the Tede Mathews Reading Room of Modern Times Bookstore @ 888 Valencia (btw 19th and 20th) SF. 5:30pm. Info: http://www.gayshamesf.org
