Future society – remarks from the LGBTIQ commission

Fourth International LGBTIQ Commission — 2020-07-30T09:55:25Z

The question of the relationship between the fight for LGBTIQ liberation and our vision of socialism was addressed to some extent in the document On Lesbian/Gay Liberation agreed at the 15th World Congress of the Fourth International in 2003 ”On Lesbian/Gay Liberation ” particularly its second section, “0ur standpoints”.

The LGBTIQ commission therefore started from that text in writing these theses for the IC and also attempted to incorporate key insights from Peter Drucker's book Warped: Gay Normality and Queer Anti-Capitalism (2015). We have tried to make our language more inclusive than in the 2003 text and adding new points which we hope reflect key discussions which we and the movement have had more generally since then.

We think this is an important, if not an easy, discussion. Especially in these dark times it is important to affirm the principle of hope.
