THE NO MAN LEFT BEHIND ACT“What I want to defend is the proposition that there is a whole body of experience within the existing promiscuity of faggots that (if accepted for the good that it is) is revolutionary … "We need to be indiscriminate. No one should be denied love because they are old, ugly, fat, crippled, bruised, of the wrong race, color, creed, sex or country of origin. We need to copulate with anyone who requests our company; set aside all the false contraptions of being hard to get, unavailable—that is, costly on the capitalist market. We need to leave behind the whole mentality of measurement; it is a massive tool of social control. We all measure ourselves against some standard, find ourselves wanting, and feeling inferior, guilty, wrong, weak—in need of authority, direction, correction, ruling and enslavement.” — Charley Shively, “Indiscriminate Promiscuity as an Act of Revolution”, Gay Sunshine/Fag Rag (Joint Issue, Summer 1974).
