SUPRA condemns the theft of Fagi Soit

On Tuesday, 16 May around 1500 copies of Honi Soit’s queer edition, Fagi Soit, were stolen and disposed of in bins across campus by a group of unknown individuals. This appears to have been an act of anti-queer vandalism. 

This event has been very upsetting and distressing for many queer people and their allies. By throwing away the magazines many people have felt erased, attacked, discriminated against, and violated. This is an attack against queer expression. This is queerphobic violence.

SUPRA condemns all forms of erasure, discrimination or violence directed at queer people, their families, and allies. There is only room for humanity, love, peace, and inclusion and the celebration of queer people and queer cultures. Let’s work together towards that kind of space. We encourage everyone to read the queer edition of Honi Soit.
