SEXUALITY IS FUNDAMENTAL TO THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE.

OUR BELIEFS

Sexuality includes sex, gender identities and roles, sexual orientation, eroticism, pleasure, intimacy, and reproduction. The free expression of sexuality is critical to our physical, emotional, and social well-being. Each human being is entitled to full bodily autonomy and integrity so that they may exercise their sexuality free from discrimination, coercion, and violence.

The State has sought to police sexual identities, reproduction, and sexual behaviors between consenting individuals through repression, marginalization, and punishment. Sexual oppression and discrimination is violence. The sexual rights of all persons must be protected, respected, and fulfilled. 

PILLARS

  • Each human being is entitled to exercise their sexuality free from discrimination, coercion, and violence.

  • We believe in the collective struggle and recognize the intersectionality of oppression and experience.

  • Religion has imposed great violence against our bodies. The politics of the Church is validated and supported by State power, and thus the State is an extension of religious violence against our bodies. Without secularism, sexual justice is not possible.

  • Tradition and norms do not define morality. Sexuality is not a moral issue; rather, moral and ethical principles apply to our relationships to one another.

  • Purity culture is a dangerous perversion. Virginity is a social construct. We reject the heterosexist proposition that virginity is a virtue.

  • Heteronormative sexuality is not an ideal, standard, or rule. All expressions of sexuality are valid, including asexuality and sexual play without orgasm.

  • Sex work is valid and deserving of dignity, protections, and regulations as defined by industry laborer’s. Exploitation of sex workers is indicative of labor abuse and an uneducated and unhealthy understanding of sexuality.

  • The forced-birth agenda is a means to political power rather than a belief in the sanctity of life.

  • All gender identities and roles as defined by the individual are valid. We are building a post-gender world.

  • We oppose those who possess the power to define and legislate shame.

  • Institutions and figures of authority are no more authentic than any other body or group of bodies.

  • Our beliefs and approach should never be dogmatic. We are open to critique and practice constant revolution.
