Objectives:
- "WE ARE GLBTQREMS AND WE ARE HERE TO STAY!"
- Affirm variance in sexual preferences and gender identities
- Challenge the heterosexual normative specifically in minority communities
- Challenge the tendency to view GLBTQ identities as a western-white-middle class phenomenon
- Emphasize what we all already know: there is no normal.

My identity has been constructed from my own sense of otherness, whether cultural, racial or sexual. The three aspects are not separate within me. Photography is the tool by which I feel most confident in expressing myself. It is photography therefore — Black, African, homosexual photography — which I must use not just as an instrument, but as a weapon if I am to resist attacks on my integrity and, indeed, my existence on my own terms - Ratimi Fani-Kayoda [Traces of Ecstasy,” Ten-8, no. 28 1988]
