What is a Radical Faerie?

Radical Faeries are a loosely affiliated worldwide network and countercultural movement blending queer consciousness and secular spirituality.

Sharing various aspects with neopaganism, the movement also adopts elements from anarchism and environmentalism.

Rejecting hetero-imitation, the Radical Faerie movement began during the 1970’s sexual revolution among gay men in the United States.

Gay activists Harry Hay, Mitch Walker, Don Kilhefner, and John Burnside organized the first Spiritual Conference for Radical Faeries in September 1979.

The network subsequently evolved alongside queer rights expansions, engaging with eclectic constructs and rituals while challenging commercialized and patriarchal aspects of modern LGBTQ+ life.

Faeries tend to be fiercely independent, anti-establishment and community-focused.

Contemporary Radical Faeries embody a wide range of genders, sexual orientations, and identities.
