The March 18 anti-war march from East Liberty to Oakland has gained a new queer contingent. And the weekend’s activities — which mark the beginning of the Iraq War’s fourth year — has spawned concerts and opened a Greensburg front this year as well.
In addition to the usual groups, headed up by march sponsor The Thomas Merton Center in Garfield, the March 18 demonstration will include the new Steel Queer N’at queer artists collective.
The group was formed in November, says member Cole Lea of Wilkinsburg. “We haven’t had as much visibility as straight white men who are good speakers,” Lea says. “Political activism is crucial to our survival as queer artists. This is an extension of our day-to-day lives.”
