Queer Nation was founded at a meeting at The Center in 1990 to create a nonhierarchal direct action group to combat gay-bashing and homophobia in the media. Founding members included HIV/AIDS activists from ACT UP as well as contributors to OutWeek Magazine. Queer Nation was nonhierarchical in structure and known for its boycotts, early embrace of the reclaimed term “queer,” and confrontational approach. Chapters opened up across the country.
