QUEER AS IN F@*K YOU: UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF HOMOCORE

Moderated by Kenny Mellman of Kiki and Herb with musician/writer/performer Lynn Breedlove, musician/artist Joel Gibb, and visual artist/writer/musician Cristy Road, the conversation will look at the transformative powers of Punk through the lens of Homocore/Queercore.  “The Queercore scene grew out of a generation that bristled against what it saw as the bourgeois trappings of a mainstream gay lifestyle and the macho, hetero hardcore scene that punk — a movement founded by women, people of color, and gays — had become. Queercore was a call to arms and storming out of the closet.” Out Magazine
