The Queer Revolution

JOIN THE RANKS.

About Me

The Queer Revolution is a grassroots movement determined to create a healthy and educated atmosphere for everyone, especially young gays and lesbians. We have created this profile to help raise the socio-political awareness of the queer community as a whole.
All we want is to be treated like equals, to marry whom we choose, to be accepted and not just 'tolerated' and have a voice like everyone else. Is that too much to ask? We don't think so and that's why we're here.

My Interests

All we want is to be treated like equals, to marry whom we choose, to be accepted and not just 'tolerated' and have a voice like everyone else. Is that too much to ask? We don't think so and that's why we're here. Join us in our efforts to unionize and harness the potential power of the Oklahoma gay community. Our hope is to revolutionize the heart, mind and spirit of all people. And we need YOU for that!

"What we really want is the right to be right and the right to be wrong." --Bob Marley
