(c) 2004 by Ezekiel J. Krahlin (Jehovah's Queer Witness) Some hetero student from SF State fancies himself a courageous activist, including for gay people. I had fun with this one: --begin 1st (of 3) replies: Date: Sat, 01 May 2004 11:06:22 -0700 From: Ezekiel KrahlinTo: freestateofsf@groups.onlinepolicy.net Subject: Re: Daily Digest Volume 1 #3 (2 messages) On Fri, 30 Apr 2004 Joshua's Wolf posted: << Hey -- it looks like there are still a few people out on this list (I got two people to respond to me off list) >> Yo! Now that there's some LIFE in this list, I'll resume posting through it. << I'm not sure what the founder of the sites current status on his measure is -- but I imagine that we can collectively draft something that all parties involved are cool with and start working to get it on the ballot. >> I don't know if there is even ONE person on this planet who is "cool". I have NEVER believed in "being cool"...it's just a way of putting on airs. I'm NOT a cool guy, and I'm PROUD not to be. :D I am ONLY interested in your proposal of a get together re. secession...IF (and only if) the secession is based on forming a new nation/gov't by and for sexual-minorities ONLY. The founders of this "FreeStateofSF" list have a broader design in mind, which is to ALSO include OTHER oppressed types. And that is not something I want to participate in. There is NO place on this earth, where sexual minorities can truly live and breathe as themselves...for EVERY existing nation at this time, is HETERO-centered (inc. Holland et al). You may familiarize yourself with my viewpoints in this matter by perusing these threads in Usenet groups: From: Ezekiel Krahlin (GodHatesBreeders@HetBeGone.net) Subject: Re: Seceeding from the het empire Newsgroups: soc.motss Date: 1997/08/12 From: Ezekiel Krahlin (ezekielk@hotmail.com) Subject: Re: Integration/Separation (was: Seceeding from the het empire) Newsgroups: uk.gay-lesbian-bi Date: 1997/08/21 Then, please read my seminal essay: New Declaration of Independence http://www.gay-bible.org//write/4_newdec.htm Also on my website are the following pieces about (or relating to) secessionary matters: Anti-Gay Holocaust Imminenet http://www.gay-bible.org/write/4_holocaust.htm Give only to Les/Gay Causes http://www.gay-bible.org/write/3_give-only.htm Guns Won't Save Us; Hacking will http://www.gay-bible.org/write/3_guns.htm Hetero Shame Week http://www.gay-bible.org/write/3_shame.htm Memes, Dreams & Obscene Schemes http://www.gay-bible.org/write/3_meme.htm Targeting Sacred Spaces http://www.gay-bible.org/write/3_sacred.htm So if you feel I have something going in this matter, then I'd be glad to assist in coordinating a key group dedicated to secession, and forming the world's first LGBT nation. --begin 2nd (of 3) replies: Date: Sat, 01 May 2004 20:49:51 -0700 To: Joshua's Wolf Subject: Re: [freestateofsf] Daily Digest Volume 1 #3 (2 messages) From: Ezekiel Krahlin Organization: Blue Rose Militia On Sat, 1 May 2004 11:30:20 -0700, Joshua' Wolf wrote: << Ezekiel, thanks for dropping your voice into the fray. In regards to "being cool" -- I was using the term as a colloquialism for being in agreement with something. IE -- I'm cool with radical protest tactics -- meaning, I don't have a problem with them. I may not utilize these tactics but I'm cool with them. Makes sense? >> Jeez, it was just a joke. C'mon now, be cool! << In regards to your views that any secession movement must be not only be rooted in the LGBT community's on-going struggle for sovereignty, but in fact narrowly focused only on these issues... >> "narrowly focused" "only" ???? << down to fight for a justice that is more limited in scope than anything I can really donate much energy into. >> "limited in scope" ???? << table today and have been on the table in the past. But in limiting your scope you risk creating an environment that could almost resemble the situation in Isreal today should you prove successful, which, honestly, I have strong doubts that you could using democratic means. >> Such a risk as you suggest is not only without any basis in fact or history...it is an unkind and rude assumption. There are DIFFERENT legitimate reasons why a minority deserves its independence, which sometimes includes one's own nation. You would deny the Kurds their own nation-state if you had the power? Gypsies? Your comparison of a gay secession to Zionism is simplistic, and mean-spirited. I'm afraid your own prejudice against gays is shining through...in that you judge too INEPT to run our own nation, when compared with heterosexuals...who are NOT doing a very good job of things, if you ask me. Why, look at our present leader...Dubya. All other (non-queer) oppressed minorities CONTINUE to hate gays unabated...and were they to participate in a secessionist movement, they'd very soon eradicate any proposals to give equality to sexual minorities. It would be nice, for once, that queers have their own space to evolve, experiment, and explore, WITHOUT the dogma of heterocentrism yanking our chains. You lack the depth, the breadth, and the genuine compassion required to support a secessionist movement that will achieve the greatest democracy the world has seen to date...and will set the example for every other suffering minority. Not to mention IMAGINATION. You are, essentially, heterocentric, and likely to remain that way unto the grave.

I admit: I am MOST curious as to precisely WHICH issues of my LGBT community give you a headache? << But in limiting your scope >> Was MLK "limiting his scope" by fighting JUST for Afrikan-Amerikans? Susan B. Anthony for women's suffrage? Dear, if you don't focus on a specific issue, you will NEVER excel in your life. Furthermore, the sexual-minority issue is QUITE EXTENSIVE, covering ALL the realms of science, politics, the arts, and even religion. Besides which, queers are born into EVERY TYPE of culture and race...thus we are quite EXTENSIVE in scope in every single way but one: heterosexuality. Your OWN bias towards your heterosexuality positively REEKS of hubris! << Admittedly, if you want to create a gay army and take over San Francisco by force -- you might have something -- but that's certainly not something that I could ever support. >> Thanks for alerting me that you wouldn't even make good cannon fodder. You do realize, don't you, that a LOT of other people are reading our communique? You have no idea who I am, do you? I'm one of the most respected and beloved leaders of our Queer Community. It is I who runs San Francisco, not Newsom...nor any mayor. And it has been so, for quite a few years now, at least two decades. I'm behind ALL important issues in our fair city...issues which I may not like to see come to bear fruit...but they are what our Creator so chooses us to EXPERIENCE, that we may become better souls for that. But the time of our Great Crucifixion has come to an end...for we have served well God's chosen sorrows for Our Queer Family. Now, we are to have our own city, our own land...yes, even our own nation. Dare I even suggest PLANET ?!!! << But unless you manage to get SF to be over 50% LBGT -- then you probably wont pass a measure to declare San Francisco a LGBT state. >> Oh, so now you threaten. As if numbers always matter in every battle...not quality, eh? Ooops! You just made a big boo-boo on the battlefield, Napoleon. These End Times shall be remembered as the Breeders' Waterloo. I don't give a duck's ASS how small a group we are...even if it came to only ONE--that one being MYSELF if such came to pass; as I am UNYIELDING in my principles--our Victory is already predicted as DECISIVE. Yeah, we may lose some battles down the line from now...but we already know we are destined to become the Ultimate Victors. We did not write this script, of gay and straight, faggots and breeders, oppressed and tyrant. Sure, it may be a lovely FANTASY for us to dream of gays conquering the world, to own it forever more...and then THE UNIVERSE. But, as you MUST know by know (if you are spiritual in ideology), God or Goddess or IT...also has an INCREDIBLE sense of humor. So, yes, this is how things are going down...it's gonna be a queer, queer, queer, VERY queer world, VERY soon. << You could definitely get through legislation that officially acknowledges the city as a some sort of sanctuary and a supporter of LGBT rights -- >> We are ALREADY acknowledged as such...and have been, for at LEAST 3 decades. That's ONE of the problems with you psuedo-gay-friendly str8s: what little you know of gay rights, you think you know it all! Even when chatting with a dyed-in-the-wool gay activist. Oh, that's right, I almost forgot: you heteros are INDEED superior to queers in EVERY way, not just as breeders...you are also superior in all KNOWLEDGE, thus you are the last word on GAY issues, as you are on EVERY issue. Excuuuuse me! << but doing so in today's political environment doesn't seem like a worthwhile campaign to me -- >> Because you would readily CONVINCE me fighting for gay rights is a useless cause. You are truly a snake in the grass. You see, as an Advanced Healer of Souls, I can pull the truth out of anyone...if it is a malicious kind of truth, why I slice it out with my psychic scalpel, and pull the slipper cancerous node out of every crack and crevice of your shrivelly mind...and hold it to the light of day for all to witness in disgust...before I toss it (and you) in the moleculizer with a brief BZZZT!! << everyone here and abroad already knows that SF is one of the most inclusive cities in the world, especially regarding sex and gender. >> SF is RIFE with homophobia, terrorism against gays, bashing, threats, murders. It is BARELY better than anywhere else in AmeriKKKa. We don't have equal rights here...we have CRUMBS tossed our way now and than, and nothing more. Nothing more until I started illuminating these dark corners so prevalent in our once-fair city. They are cockroaches. Heterosexual cockroaches. << I do, however, feel that certain LBGT issues are paramount and central to a free San Francisco. >> How chivalrous of you. << First and foremost, gay marriage has always been critical to the movement >> For whose benefit? Whose movement are you talking about? Who are you speaking for? Or THINK you are speaking for? Some nonexistant MAJORITY of mixed heteros/queers of all classes, yearning for a world free of bigotry? EXCEPT homophobia, of course. << There are other issues i see with secession that directly affect the LGBT community as well -- but -- we can discuss these at a later date. >> Secession does not directly affect the LGBT community. Very few are even TALKING about it. And the few who are, are written off as nutcases. Harmless, but nutty. That's our COVER, dude. Don't you get it yet? We already have TAKEN OVER the city...and soon, ALL hetero citizens will wake up to this one, all-pervasive FACT. Some will exit peacefully; other will be FORCED outside our borders. "Many are called, but few are chosen. Step right up for your Lederhosen" - Big Gay Brother Zeke Krahlin << A broad coalition has the strongest chance of success. A narrow coalition may create more passionate activists for the movement within the community, but if our goal is for a successful secession >> Ahhh, you shall NOT have a secession such as you describe. WE queers shall have OUR queer nation, no ways about it. << I haven't been proud to be an american for a very long time -- but I am proud to be part of this great city of ours >> Well I'M not proud that you ARE, and would like you to LEAVE. << and I think that we as a people of San Francisco are united in a great many principles that could be realized with a much greater intensity as a Free San Francisco. >> We can NEVER be free, if QUEERS don't run the show. The whole show, and nothing BUT the whole show.
