  • Signature Books 508 West 400 North Street Salt Lake City, UT 84116 United States (map)

Queer Nation Utah, Pride 1991

🪧 About the Event: Join us for a presentation on the history of Queer Nation Utah’s radical activism here in 1991 and 1992 and learn about the impact it has had on LGBT politics. Known for their slogan "We're here! We're Queer! We're fabulous! Get used to us!", the group was founded in New York in 1990 by ACT UP activists and quickly spread to other cities, like Salt Lake. Learn more about this confrontational, non-hierarchical LGBTQ+ direct-action organization that pushed for Queer visibility. 

🎙️ About the Speaker: Connell is one of the co-founders of Queer Nation Utah and currently serves as Chair of the Mildred Berryman Institute
