UltraViolet Newsletter

 

In 1988 we started a newsletter called "Out!", a play on U.S. Out (at that time principally of Central America, which our government was in the process of invading -- remember Honduras and Panama?) and, obviously, Out of the Closet and Into the Streets. A few years later, every queer rag in the country was calling itself Out and we decided to change the name. After many long and hilarious debates over what to call it, we settled on UltraViolet - the invisible fringe of the rainbow. It is a forum for discussion of issues important to the queer community, a source of information about political issues and actions you don't hear enough about in the mainstream (and mainstream gay) press, and a place where we get to be wild and wacky and witty on any subject that particularly interests us at the moment. We mail it out for free to over 900 people, including about 300 prisoners, and sometimes people who like it send us money, which we really appreciate.

Life Begins at Conception

Corporate People, in support of their Occupy Main StreetTM brand, staged demonstrations in different markets across the country to celebrate the recent Supreme Court decision to uphold Mississippi’s law that a corporation’s life begins at conception.

A spokesman for the People Right Is Corporate-right (P.R.I.C.), a radical front for the left-leaning United States Chamber of Commerce, released a statement saying that “Today, we are proud to say, is beyond business as usual. Finally, America is really open for business.”

Congress is expected to pass the Defense of Mergers Act with little opposition. This would finally legalize the merger of AT$T. Up to now many human people of the right-wing Occupy Wall Street anti-Corporate People terror organization had contended that those mergers were just a big poly-corporate, incestuous joining of the offspring of Ma Bell.

Hundreds of corporate lawyers, holding proxies for their corporate people, have lined up outside the Lt. Governor’s office in Sacramento, California. Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom has been a strong supporter of P.R.I.C.

 UltraViolet is distributed with another newsletter, Out of Time, which is produced by Out of Control Lesbian Committee to Support Women Political Prisoners. Prisoners, especially political prisoners, queer prisoners and the death penalty, are a big focus of LAGAI too. Great information on prison activist work is available from the Prison Activist Resource Center.
