You can not domesticate a unicorn, neither our dreams

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Sun, 16/03/2014 - 12:28am

This is a communique from some of the individuals involved in the creation of the milkcrate unicorn at the University of Sydney; we don’t speak in the name of everyone that participated in the action.

Before anything else, it would be good to clarify that yes! the unicorn made out of milkcrates at USYD on the 3rd of March is as queer, gay, trans, lesbian, bisexual, and intersex as it can get and we stand with anyone that fights against oppression and therefore those oppressed by this patriarchal heteronormative society.
