Queer Regiment



This piece follows on from the last post; this too was to be called Valour but once again the piece change during the making. It became this huge mass of purple bodies and hence it became a big queer regiment .It follows the idea of Valour but again to aggressive, yet it still represents a group but in this case its all queerkind.

A regiment is a mass of people (usually army based) that rest on a similar history or set of beliefs. This unit helps keeps moral and a sense of belonging, so we must all remember their is a big queer regiment behind us all.

Gay people are not only part of standard but have there own history that must be remembered. It stands for all groups that have been or are oppressed.
