The Quear-ring Ornament Raffle Ticket

Handmade by Brian Britigan

Throughout the ages, one signifier has set queers apart from the common masses: the single, dangly earring. With no twin, no matching other, the single earring is a testament of singularity in a world of mass replication. Once savaged in straight summer camp discourse as a sure marker of homosexuality, this adornment become a contemporary badge of pride.
