BE GAY, DO CRIME: Everyday Acts of Queer Resistance and Rebellion Book

The phrase started as a joke on the internet and ended up as a genuine rallying cry. That trajectory tells you something about where we are, and why this book exists.

Be Gay, Do Crime traces the long, defiant history of queer resistance, from ACT UP direct actions to trans street patrols to the radical networks that kept communities alive when institutions wanted them dead. The "crime" in question has always been survival, visibility, and refusing to ask permission. This isn't a coffee table retrospective. It's a record of what resistance actually looks like when the law is not your friend, and it fits squarely alongside the kind of dark, countercultural, punk-adjacent politics that ALT CVLT exists to stock. The alternative fashion scene and the queer underground have always overlapped, and this book knows that.
