description Queer Nation, founded in New York City in 1990, is one of the earliest activist groups to be organized around the term queer. This article provides a history of the founding chapter of Queer Nation and maps the group's political ideals and strategies, highlighting tensions within and outside the organization about race and gender, liberalism, and antiassimilationism, among other issues. In doing so, the article also offers a framework for thinking about antinormativity in the history and historiography of queer politics and theory.
