QueerMutiny: Queer-A-Go-Go, Aug 2008

QueerMutiny has been radicalizing Edinburgh's gay scene with its 'Do-It-Yourself, Doing-Each-Other, Diversity and Perversity' attitude since January of this year. This 'non-hierarchical kollective' offers an autonomous space free from sexual and gender based prejudice. With branches in London, Brighton, Bristol, Cardiff, Leeds, and Edinburgh, QueerMutiny speaks out against the commercialization and assimilation of 'the gay lifestyle' and, more narrowly, the growing popularity of Gay Pride events.

With Pride Glasgow just around the corner, QueerMutiny Edinburgh is offering a free, week-long alternative event, Queer-a-Go-Go. Queer-a-Go-Go kicks off on Friday 1 August at The Forest. Starting at 9pm make your way to the hall for an evening of delicious tunes, food, and a little unadulterated dancing. Well. A lot of unadulterated dancing. Following Friday's launch, QueerMutiny's Queer-A-Go-Go is jam-packed, with further events including:

- Sat 2 Aug, Poof's Picnic @ the Meadows
- Sat 2 Aug, Film Screening: The Cockettes @ ACE and discussion about forming an Edinburgh Cockettes
- Sun 3 Aug, Film Screening: XXY @ ACE and discussion of gender led by Polygender Scotland
- Mon 4 Aug, Documentary Screening: Sex Workers Rights @ ACE
