Members of the Fort Hill Faggots for Freedom, featured in the pages of Boston’s Gay Community News in 1976 | ph: Jane Picard

The Faggots were a militant commune and activist group consisting largely of draft dodgers, closely associated with the adjacent anarchist collective and zine publishers FagRag, who lived communally not only for economic purposes but also to “overcome [their] heterosexual conditioning as men” through domestic work. They are known for a number of actions, including picketing a local gay bar that refused service to drag queens and dykes who attempted to enter.

In one flyer passed around during Pride month, they wrote under the masthead REMEMBER STONEWALL calling for a return to radical solidarity. “…Even the most conservative demands of civil rights have not been met, let alone the more radical demands of gay liberationists. We cannot accept non-commitment. To the straight community we, the Fort Hill Faggots for Freedom are presenting a posture of militant solidarity. To the gay community, we are making a show of support and reacting to differences in a spirit of loving confrontation.”

NIGEL FARAGE AND BORIS JOHNSON: DONALD TRUMP’S FRIENDS ARE ABOUT TO DOMINATE BRITISH POLITICS

Two friends of President Donald Trump, Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson, are set to dominate British politics after U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May, in an emotional address, announced she would step down on June 7, her tenure derailed by her inability to secure a Brexit agreement.

May failed repeatedly to pass her Withdrawal Agreement in Parliament, a deal unpopular among Members of Parliament…

Hey, I’m Lia. My sidebar says it all. I don’t think ace discourse is productive but I would technically be an exclusionist. I refuse to take part in user discourse and call out culture. I’ll occassionally post wlw and trans related opinions (as they pertain to me), and a lot of pride and lgbt news. Can A Dyke Get A Promo?

Fagrag -- Live From Battle Mountain

Seeing a show at the ZACC can feel like you've taken over a rich parents' living room except there's no booze, you still have a curfew, and the no matter how crazy you wanna get, touching the walls is seriously VERBOTEN. I don't know how they did it but Fagrag managed to pull off a live show there that in many ways captures their giddy chaos better than any of their “proper” albums. A good part of that credit should go to Brian Thomas, who was the dude that recorded the thing. It was Fagrag's final show and we've been left with a testament that sounds less like a eulogy and more like suicide note. I only say that because a band as beholden to anarchy as they were was bound to self-destruct eventually.

Fagrag had been called many things in this town: good and often bad. They had themselves banned from playing the Badlander complex on two separate occasions. They've inspired the ire of numerous local promoters. They never really cared. To me, that only reinforced the fact that they understood that attitude goes a long way in being a punk band. Their fuck-all demeanor, while aggressive on the surface, also had the effect of making them charmingly honest. It's hard to be angry unless you have something to say. For them, their message was of enthusiastic drunkenness and raucous fun. I can get behind that. They made you feel it whenever they bleated out one of those songs you'd always thought would fall apart just before it didn't. They wouldn't be ignored and they succeeded in guiding their deconstruction into contagious bedlam.

Live From Battle Mountain is a party record. Of a party. Their set consists of songs culled from both their records (Centerfold and Rainbow Satan) and a number of tracks that made neither. It's interesting to see their progression laid bare like this. The subjects of the songs don't really change. They're still singing about friends, landlords, creepy hair salon guys, federal prison, drugs, being fat, having fun, etc. That's their honesty again. As far as I can tell, Fagrag has always written about their lives. They'd just managed to do it within the confines of an art form that prides itself in having no confines: punk. Fagrag had taken to heart the idea that punk isn't necessarily a genre, it's just a word defining the endless possibilities that an attitude can carry you wherever you want to go. There can be humor in there, and aggression, and they play all that out pretty well.
