The Queer Revolutionary Disco is an organisation of tremendous vision and integrity. In the past ten years we have saved tens of thousands of starving queer children in Africa. We have stopped climate change from affecting queers. We have rescued 8 million hectares of queers from deforestation and salinity. We immunised bazillions of queers and then we taught them how to read and write. We have rescued queers from cruel and archaic agricultural practices such as the battery cage.
To do this, we need your support. In fact, we need you as much as you need us. For as little as fifty cents a day you too can become a Disco Comrade. You too can:
*sponsor a queer
*give a queer village the means to achieve economic independence.
*restore eyesight to a blind queer.
*rescue a queer bear from torture in India.
*prevent the queers in Tasmania’s Styx Valley, the tallest queers in the world, from being cut down for woodchips.
*pay for someone else to do all the difficult dirty queer activism that you are either too busy or too lazy to do.
It’s easy. It’s tax deductable. It’s non threatening. You get a magazine and discounts at our shop. Lots of famous people do it. Straight laced middle class white people like you do it all the time.
So go on. Give the gift of life and hope. Do your bit today for a better tomorrow. Stop dreaming about a world of peace, dignity and environmental sustainability – let’s make it happen!
Gimme your credit card number. Gimme gimme gimme.
I’d like to thank organizations like Queer Revolutionary Disco for, in exchange for a little bit of guilt money, allowing me to pretend that I don’t actually have to do anything useful about the state of the world, heck, you allow me to believe that somehow despite my disconnected boring middle class existence, I’m some kind of saint up there with the Burmese monks!
Hey man,
I’m not sure if this is cool. I mean, I can make fun of these organisations because I worked my damn ass off for the Wilderness Society as a street canvasser. To a street canvasser, comments like this just come across as snide and cynical unless they actually come from somebody who is a street canvasser, in which case it’s playfully letting off steam.
I actually think it’s really cool that so many people care enough about the world to donate $20 a month out of their hard earned pay. Most of them aren’t middle class people with a guilt complex. Most of them are working people who don’t have much but will give what they can. I kind of wish that the money went toward more grass roots democratic kinds of organisations, but hey.
The Wilderness Society is in fact doing really important activist work at the moment in the campaign against the Pulp Mill in Tasmania. Check it out:
