Queers Read This/The Queer Nation Manifesto was originally distributed at the New York Gay Pride Parade in June 1990. Different sources attribute the text to various groups: "anonymous queers,” “members of Queer Nation,” and “people marching with the ACT UP contingent,” to name a few. In Sarah Schulman’s Let The Record Show (2022), “I HATE STRAIGHTS” is attributed to David Robison, Maxine Wolfe, Heidi Dorow, Vincent Gagliostro, and Tracy Morgan. 

The text printed here is as true to the version published on the ACT UP Historical Archive website (https://actupny.org/documents/QueersReadThis.pdf) as possible, with a handful of minor exceptions.
