Queer Anarchism, commonly referred to by the abbreviations AnQueer or QueerAn, is a culturally far-left and economically left-wing Anarchist ideology.
Queer Anarchism believes in social insurrection, the abolition of the state and capitalism and the anarchist ideal of complete individual freedom as a method of liberation for the LGBT community and the abolition of homophobia, transphobia, heteronormativity, the patriarchy, and the gender binary.
History
TQILA
TQILA, The Queer Insurrection and Liberation Army, was a militant organization that was created on July 24, 2017. TQILA was created as a response to LGBT+ oppression in the Islamic State. TQILA was the first LGBT+ group that fought against ISIS, and was the first militant LGBT+ group in the Near East.
Variants
Gender Communism / G/Acc
Gender Communuism, or G/Acc is an ideology created by Vikky Storm that accelerates gender to the point where the logic of gender is broken, that is, to the point when someone can freely and safely come out as trans without having to worry about being murdered or deadnamed by Conservatives.
Personality
AnQueer is often depicted as passionate about fighting against the state and various other oppressors and can often be seen vehemently defending LGBT rights, and although they are generally not particularly violent, they view revolutionary violence as justified in the face of oppression. AnQueer usually associates with other left anarchist or LGBT balls due to shared ideological values. They are highly critical of capitalism, which they view as perpetuating a patriarchal system based upon discrimination, on top of the usual left anarchist critiques, and they often view the Liberal Dynasty's alleged support for LGBT rights as more virtue signaling than a genuine belief in favor of complete social equality. Depending on the author, AnQueer can also sometimes be depicted as gender non-conforming.

- Neozapatismo - “Yes, Marcos is gay. Marcos is gay in San Francisco, black in South Africa, an Asian in Europe, a Chicano in San Ysidro, an anarchist in Spain, a Palestinian in Israel, a Mayan Indian in the streets of San Cristobal, a Jew in Germany, a Gypsy in Poland, a Mohawk in Quebec, a pacifist in Bosnia, a single woman on the Metro at 10pm, a peasant without land, a gang member in the slums, an unemployed worker, an unhappy student and, of course, a Zapatista in the mountains. Marcos is all the exploited, marginalised, oppressed minorities resisting and saying `Enough'. He is every minority who is now beginning to speak and every majority that must shut up and listen. He is every untolerated group searching for a way to speak. Everything that makes power and the good consciences of those in power uncomfortable -- this is Marcos.”
- Illegalism - Be gay do crime! You still think too much about yourself only, not about the liberation of all minorities.
