Austin Pride is going on as we speak. This is also the inaugural year of QueerBomb, put together by a group within Austin’s LBGTQIA community who want the festivities to be more inclusive and economical. Some of my friends are involved, including the veritable Curran Nault, who is giving a talk today at 3 p.m. on Bruce LaBruce at the Long Center. Ricky Hill and Andy Campbell also contributed to Austin Chronicle about the normative aims of the Austin Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and the financial constraints of attending Pride. In solidarity, I thought I’d post a few music videos by some awesome queer-identified artists. Enjoy, and feel free to share some of your faves in the comments section.
