http://bianet.org/english/militarism/188567-queer-unit-formed-against-isisnternational Revolutionary People's Guerrilla Forces (IRPGF) has announced that Queer Insurgency and Liberation Army (TQILA) has been formed to combat ISIS in Syria.
Being a component of the International Freedom Battalion, the IRPGF was formed on March 31, 2017. The IRPGF, which is an anarchist group, consists of volunteers coming from various countries to fight ISIS in Syria.
The IRPGS in its statement issued yesterday to announce the TQILA said that “Our resolution in our struggle against authority, patriarchy, oppressive heteronormativity, queerphobia, homophobia and transphobia has strengthened with revolutionary advancements and struggle of Kurdish women”.
Jesus...
In all seriousness this is good work on their part. Ideally they wouldn't be fighting on the side of a group affiliated with terrorism, but beggars can't be choosers I suppose.
Edit: be sure to visit the source, there are some pictures there I couldn't fit in this post.
We're hitting levels of identity politics that shouldn't be possible.
The IRPGF is a bunch of liberals LARPing as Ancoms.
