Organization
Groups are run independently by members, who are free to take the activities of the group in whatever direction they choose, as organization is done in an anarcho-syndicalist manner, apart from Edinburgh QueerMutiny who reject such labels.
Queers of all sexualities meet as regularly as they feel fit, to talk to each other, socialize and get active. Queer Mutiny is a DIY collective which aims to fight prejudice, link up with other campaigns, learn, create alternatives and celebrate what it is to be Queer. They organize skill sharing workshops, with the hope of empowerment and having fun. They are against hierarchies, capitalism and assimilation.

Famous quotes containing the word organization:
“The Red Cross in its nature, it aims and purposes, and consequently, its methods, is unlike any other organization in the country. It is an organization of physical action, of instantaneous action, at the spur of the moment; it cannot await the ordinary deliberation of organized bodies if it would be of use to suffering humanity, ... [ellipsis in original] it has by its nature a field of its own.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“I will never accept that I got a free ride. It wasn’t free at all. My ancestors were brought here against their will. They were made to work and help build the country. I worked in the cotton fields from the age of seven. I worked in the laundry for twenty- three years. I worked for the national organization for nine years. I just retired from city government after twelve-and-a- half years.”
—Johnnie Tillmon (b. 1926)
“Democracy means the organization of society for the benefit and at the expense of everybody indiscriminately and not for the benefit of a privileged class.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
