"The faggots and their friends live the best while empires are falling. Since the men are always building as many empires as they can, there are always one or two falling and so one or two places for the faggots and their friends to go. When an empire is falling, the men become so busy opposing the rebellions elsewhere and searching for the reasons why this is happening, that they have no time to watch the faggots and their friends at home. The populace, tired of hearing only of foreign defeats, allows the faggots room to play. This entertains them. Once the empire is gone, the cause of the present evil must be found. And the faggots and their friends along with others often get chosen. Then times get bad and the faggots and their friends fade."

The faggots have accepted all that they know and see as the way things are and so can no longer be shocked. The men live in the fantasy that everyone is like them and are so constantly shocked.

A Faggot Fable Some faggots were more beautiful than other faggots. The beautiful ones only wanted to touch and be touched by other beautiful ones. Orchard was the most beautiful of all and all the beautiful faggots wanted to touch Orchard. One day Orchard made himself ugly, very ugly. When the beautiful faggots saw what he had done, they wept and they turned their backs on him and forgot him. Only the ugly faggots now wanted to touch Orchard. So he gathered them all together and took them to a mountain top where they lived in harmony and joy. As they learned to love each other more and more, they became more and more beautiful. After many years they floated down from their mountain top into the town. The beautiful faggots were astounded by these newly arrived creatures.The beautiful faggots wanted to touch them all and love them forever. But Orchard said, "No, you are too ugly for us. Go and love the ugliest faggot you can discover and then we will love you in return." So they left town and did as they were asked to do, spreading the notion that to love the ugliest will make both beautiful. At last, one day, all the faggots everywhere were so beautiful that no one had to thing about it any more. Now they all loved and touched each other with great pleasure and ecstasy

i just wanted to recommend this book to anyone tired of all the terf shit, all the discouraging news, endless discourse etc. I think i’m not the only one feeling burned out and on a verge of a breakdown considering everything happening to us. This book helped me with all of that. the best way to describe it is that reading it honestly feels like a hug and advice from an good old queer. All of the politics are more current then ever, most of the language isn’t outdated and considering that it’s from 1977 it’s pretty admirable. Knowing that anti-assimilation and mutual aid ideas go that far and articulated better than 99% of current hot takes. Really if you just want something to make you feel better about our comunity it’s a must read.

The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions Summary:

The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions is a beloved queer utopian text written by Larry Mitchell with lush illustrations by Ned Asta, published by Calamus Press in 1977. Part-fable, part-manifesto, the book takes place in Ramrod, an empire in decline, and introduces us to the communities of the faggots, the women, the queens, the queer men, and the women who love women who are surviving the ways and world of men. Cherished by many over the four decades since its publication, The Faggots and Their Friends Between Revolutions offers a trenchant critique of capitalism, assimilation, and patriarchy that is deeply relevant today.

Two agents of the time war keep leaving extremely intricate letters to each other and it gets to the point where it’s like wow! This is somehow WAY more intimate than sex!
