Queer Nation is a direct action group dedicated to ending discrimination, violence and repression against the LGBT community.
Queer Nation is an LGBT activist organization founded in New York City in March 1990 by AIDS activists from ACT UP New York (the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power). The four founders (Tom Blewitt, Alan Klein, Michelangelo Signorile and Karl Soehnlein) were outraged by the escalation of violence against LGBT people in the streets of New York, and the continued existence of anti-gay discrimination in the culture at large. Our mission throughout our history has been to eliminate homophobia and increase LGBT visibility.
In the early 1990s, the group developed chapters in cities nationwide, including Atlanta, Denver, Houston, Portland, and San Francisco.
A chant used by the group during demonstrations, “We’re here! We’re Queer! Get used to it!” became a popular rallying cry.
