"It's like gay rights, as if gay marriage is the end point, as if we just want to be included in these business-as-usual institutions. That's not the point of being queer, just as mitigated reproductive rights aren't the point of being a woman.
"We want to move this forward. Do something great... overturn all these failed male structures of thinking, all this aggression in decision-making."
From a cracking interview with our Ant'ny in the Observer by Tim Adams, particularly good on young Mr Hegarty's influences, musical and performance arty.
PS Googling "Future Feminist Foundation" - a NY group he says he helped found - only brings you back to this article. Anyone?

I empathised with this>>>>>>>>>>>>
"In my later teens I became intensely preoccupied with the work of Liz Fraser and the Cocteau Twins. Liz is the secret jewel of Britain. I would cry to those songs a lot, more than sing them. There is something so maternal in her voice. It's not just a melodic but a phonetic approach to singing which is totally intuitive, and which she invented herself. I get chills just thinking about it. She hasn't performed for a long time, so for her to sing is a centrepiece of the festival." 6 and 7 August
You did ask.
