"It has come to my attention that among our gay brothers and sisters an
oppressed group which is in the majority of all cultures is having its
struggles ignored. I refer, of course, to the dead (or the differently
positioned with respect to bodily life), who are terribly oppressed in the
workplace and never get invited to nice parties...

But of course, there are exceptions who rise to the top only to disown
their dead sisters and brothers. Speaking from Westminster today, UK prime
minister John Majors denied that being dead for the last fifty years has
in any way harmed his career...

Speaking on behalf of postmodern decompositionists, the controversial
writer Jacques Deadida explained his new theory. Life and death are
oppositional terms where each one depends on the other, but Western
metaphysics has valourised the living to supress its hidden fear of the
dead. Radical dead people have slated his ideas as denying the importance
of politics, preferring their infamous slogan that the living will be dead
before they know it...

Activists in the movement have recently shown concern at the rise in the
number of transdeaduals, living people who express a desire to join the
dead community they identify with. While some take the very drastic step
of surgery (decapitation is usually good enough for one to pass) others
who are less sure dress up dead on the weekends but otherwise stay
closeted among the living. This latter group is often referred to as
Goths, though some people feel that within every Goth a transdeadual is
waiting to emerge. Some transdeaduals
have claimed community with zombies, a reclaimed term for dead people who
want to be alive, on the grounds that both groups are oppressed by a
system that insists we must be living or dead...

I am sure this discussion will live on, though its death would be an
equally valid alternative..."
