Cis gay men don’t have a monopoly on faggotry and the art of being gay, as a political statement as well as a sexual preference. Trans folx who identify as transfags have being stigmatised, poorly represented and misread in media and queer spaces — but the fight against assimilation is now accompanied by a renaissance of the term and this subculture.
This event will give a stage to the writers and performers who are leading the transfag movement in the UK and Ireland, exploring their definition of ‘fagginess’ and how it contributes to their work.
Panel discussion with Jack Doyle, Jackson King and Kamari Roméo, and performances from Léann Herlihy and Jetsun Shenkyong-ma. Followed by FRI-GAY! DJ set from Astro Jose to carry us up into space.
Hosted by Lori lo Bianco.
