Queer Action

Summary

Queer Action was founded after the dissolution of ACT UP Melbourne by several members of the defunct group. Queer Action challenged exclusionary door codes in gay pubs and practiced solidarity with the Indigenous struggle. It produced material including several fliers in the 1990s but was short-lived.
