Queer and present danger is a three-part series written in response to the cancellation of queer events across 2023. Many a battle has been won but, as this year has shown us, glory and progress are fragile and easily stripped away.
In the past week this series has itself become a target of attacks, with a number of alt right groups having deliberately misquoted ArtsHub – taking from Part 2 to make posts in support of the “no” vote for the Voice to Parliament referendum. They used the same photos of Mama MadB and Crystal Love side by side, accompanied by “Aboriginal drag queens demand queer education for children” in bold font.
