"Members only": 20 years on, Manchester’s Queer Scene
Movements built on exclusion always need another enemy. Someone else to blame, fear, or sacrifice. Every generation produces people convinced they'll be the exception: the "good" immigrant, the "good" Muslim, the "good" Queer person, the "good" brown person.
History has a phrase for this now: leopards ate my face.
The moment when people support cruel and exclusionary politics, only to act shocked when those same politics eventually come for them too.
