So long friends, It’s been great

Hi All,

It’s with a heavy heart that I must say goodbye to QueerPunks.com and move on to other ventures. I started this site in late 2001 as a way to meet punk rock homos and talk about the things we all had in common. I was able to learn so much from all the visitors, contributors, and message board posters. I truly feel that this site, because of you, has made me a better person. I thank you for that.

A lot of you know that I’ve worked in the music industry for close to 14 years and lately things have been increasingly busy for me. I haven’t been able to devote any quality time to this site, or contribute much content. It seems that now is the right time to hand over the site to the person who has been running the majority of the operations here for the past 18 months, and still has a strong connection to the community to which we belong. If you haven’t figured that out already - that would be Jeremy AKA Jaffa.

There are a few people that have helped us out along the way that I would like to thank. Mike Shea and the editorial staff at Alternative Press Magazine. Jason Tate and the news posters at AbsolutePunk.net, Larry-Bob, Anthony AKA Anonymous Boy, Aubin and the staff over at PunkNews.org, Andy at Towleroad, Todd and Matty at DList, and last but not least Jeremy here at the QP. All of you have supported us, and the site and I am forever grateful for that. You all hold a special place in my heart.

I will still be around posting comments and/or maybe the occasional entry once in a great while. If any of you need to reach me my e-mail address will always be active.

Soo…without much further ado - Take it away Jeremy!

XOXOXO

Adam LaRue

QueerPunks talks to: Henry Rollins

QueerPunks.com: So the first thing I have to ask you is how do you keep in such damn fine shape? I need to take notes so I can have all the guys after me too.
Henry Rollins: Eat smart and work out hard, that’s all there is to it. Nothing complicated in the workout itself, you just have to do something with your body. We Americans can be very slothful at times.

QP: Alright, so let’s set facts straight, so to speak. There’s constantly a lot of rumor going around about your sexuality, so for what I’m sure is the umpteenth time please do our readers the favor of clearing that up.
HR: I am heterosexual.

QP: So why as a straight man do you fight so vehemently for gay/queer rights?
