Queering Animal Liberation
Listen now
Description
In Episode 6, Jessica Ison discusses intersections of queer liberation and animal liberation. Tracing back Mardi Gras’ transition from a protest to a parade where police, military and banks now march alongside LGBTIQA+ communities, Jess warns of the dangers of homonormativity and explains why queers should resist marriage. She critiques the exclusion of Animal Liberation floats in a context where meat and livestock industries market dead animal products wrapped in rainbow flags in the name of ‘pride’.
