Bear Force What?

Some call it ”brilliant”, others call it a ”Donna Summer rip-off”.

And you, what do you think? Do you see it as a proof that ”flaming” homos (for lack of a better word) can be a living part of pop culture, or as another Chris Crocker-like joke that will seclude even more gay people by forming exclusively ”gay” and ‘’straight” bands, each having their own audience?

And please for God’s sake, stay civilized in your comments.

Rare footage of the best queerpunk band EVER

This is a rare (not so much anymore) video from the archives of a practice of Chicago’s best and most short lived queerpunk band Festimi Emimi. A rad version of their #1 top of the charts hit “gender is sexit”.. Enjoy!

Queer Article on Fall Out Boy

Greetings fellow queer punks,

I recently wrote an article about Fall Out Boy’s new attempts to appeal to gay audiences, and what’s creepy about it, and how it ties in to the bigger picture of “selling punk” and the rise of “gays” as a demographic to be pandered to…

I’d love to hear folks’ thoughts on it!

Henry Rollins discusses gay marriage and Larry Craig

Henry Rollins

The gay community’s favorite meathead punk has spoken out about gay marriage and leigislator creep Larry Craig.

How ironic is it that Sen. Larry Craig was nailed for coming on to an undercover cop after he ran under the family values flag?

It’s really ironic but if someone is gay, he should be able to express himself and not eat hand grenades every day. He [Craig] is an older guy. Coming out was not an option for him. He had to be so suppressed and so he married a woman and procreated. It’s too bad that’s the life he had to live, and it’s especially weird if he voted for anti-gay legislation. If you put your hand under the men’s room stall, that’s not going to go quietly in the night. The hypocrisy is obvious in his case. I’m being easy on the guy and I shouldn’t because he’s an asshole.
