the revolution is my boyfriend

I just watched "The Raspberry Reich", Bruce LaBruce's 2004 homo-terrorist spoof of radical chic (or agit-porn!). It's great fun and worth buying the dvd just to hear German Marxist Leninist sexual revolutionary Gudrun (Susanne Sachsse) and her modern day far-left accomplices shout out lines like "Join the Homosexual Intifada!", "Put your Marxism where your mouth is!" and "Heterosexuality is the opiate of the Masses!" The acting is awful (other than Sachsse), but who cares with lines like that? La Bruce's gay zombie film "Otto; or, Up with Dead People" is now playing in San Francisco and coming to theaters near you (or on dvd if you don't live near a theater brave enough to show it).
