Perhaps, as Edmund White suggests, in the same way that the taking of the Bastille became a symbol of the revolution that followed. Regardless of what sparked it, though, the social transformation was real and has had remarkable effects. Those early uprisings triggered what is often called \u201cthe Gay Revolution\u201d and its progeny, including all the social movements to protect and advance the lives of LGBTQ people and to proliferate the categories within the meaning of LGBTQ\u2014\u201cto become numerous,\u201d in the words of Che Gossett, who gave us the title for our seminar.<\/p>\n<p>At Revolution 8\/13, we will be reading and discussing the histories, interviews, and oral accounts of the LGBTQ Revolution, of ACT UP, of Stonewall and other uprisings, of the social movements for trans* lives and #BlackTransLivesMatter\u2014and more generally, we will explore with Che Gossett and Jack Halberstam the possibilities of a future that is \u201cgenderless, gender variable, gender optional, gender hacked,\u201d in Jack Halberstam\u2019s words.<\/p>\n<p>Welcome to Revolution 8\/13!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Che Gossett, Jack Halberstam, and Bernard E.
