Abstract

Those involved in queer politics were caught somewhat off guard when Judith Butler refused Berlin's Christopher Street Day (Gay Pride) Civil Courage Prize being awarded to her due to the failure of the organisers to distance themselves from a political programme that uses racist discourse for political gain. This paper will not focus on the homonationalist organisations associated with the festival organisers but rather on progressive queer and feminist groups who claim an anti-racist position yet do not change their white-dominated structures to engage in anti-racist praxis. It remains a challenge for white-dominated progressive feminist and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT)/queer groups to change racist structures. This has the effect of propagating an exclusionary white queer and feminist politics. To counter this, white allies need to commit to an accountable positionality.
