Queer Socialist Working Group

The Queer Socialist Working Group is the center for all queer organizing in the DSA. We recognize how members of the LGBTQIA+ community face unique challenges under capitalism, all in the ruling class’s plan to enforce the nuclear family and produce workers subservient to the bosses. Any expression or sexuality that deviates from this patriarchal model is often met with suppression, as well as discrimination and gatekeeping in the workplace, housing, insurance, medical care, adoptions, and communities.

The modern LGBTQ movement, while admirable as a whole, has been co-opted by liberal acquiescence to capitalism. We believe in a movement that will reject what has caused us harm altogether. Fighting these at the capitalist root will mean queer and trans liberation.

Our group is open to all comrades of the LGBTQ community and its allies. Our events include a monthly trans clothing swap on the third Saturday of each month, protests, queer theory discussions, and more. Join us to fight for true queer and trans liberation together!
