“Being queer complicates the way we experience our role under capitalism. Queer bodies are often forced to sell their labor in ways that would be excluded from traditional marxist narratives of what it means to be a worker. This includes service workers and sex workers. These forms of exploitation problematize the often heteronormative and patriarchal ideas surrounding what is and isn’t labor. Ultimately, the positions of queers and proles intertwine- we are the class that has no control over our bodies. This means different things in different situations. But the bosses who manage our time and the queer-bashers who manage our gender are clearly all class-enemies.”
