This paper explores drawing as a queer antifascist praxis. Discussing 'who' comes together through the line drawings that were included in the Gay Liberation Front's (GLF) main newspaper Come Together in the 1970s, I explore how drawing can construct a 'we' as a group agent. Based on distinctions that the GLF drew between revolution and liberal reform, and between universal liberation and identity politics, drawing as a liberatory praxis constitutes a space for interrogating connections between revolution and fascism, including microfascist aspects within revolutionary processes. Examining this space in relation to exploring social and urban relations, I propose drawing as a process of antifascist subjectification for a future of sexual becoming. I argue that when queering and antifascisting come together - drawing a 'revolutionary we' - a political horizon can be generated to end differing and interrelated forms of oppression
