''Homocore'' is an American anarcho-punk zine created by Tom Jennings and Deke Nihilson, and published in San Francisco from 1988 to 1991. One of the first queer zines, ''Homocore'' was directed toward the hardcore punk youth of the gay underground. The publication has been noted for popularizing the Queercore movement on the United States west coast. ==History== The word 'homocore' was first coined by G.B. Jones and Bruce LaBruce in the Toronto-based queer punk zine, ''J.D.s''.〔 〕 The term was a neologism based upon combining the words homosexual and hardcore, and used as a description of their audience: disenfranchised queer hardcore punks. The word first appeared in ''J.D.'s'' issue #1 in 1985. Tom Jennings borrowed the word 'homocore' after he and co-editor Deke Nihilson met Jones and LaBruce at the 1987 Anarchist Survival Gathering in Toronto. Inspired by the editors of ''J.D.'s'', and other anarchists, Jennings and Nihilson returned to San Francisco and began the ''Homocore'' zine. The first issue was published in September 1988. Although their initial audience was the queer underground within the San Francisco area, letters published in later issues came from readers around the world. ''Homocore'' featured writers, artists and bands such as the Anarcho-punk group The Apostles, photographer Daniel Nicoletta, Chainsaw Records label owner and musician Donna Dresch, writer and founder of Lookout Records Larry Livermore, Bruce LaBruce and G.B. Jones. Steve Abbott first published excerpts of what would become the novel ''The Lizard Club'' in ''Homocore''. Writing for ''The Village Voice'', author Dennis Cooper started off his 1990 survey of the then-nascent queer zine scene with a review of this zine, noting "Homocore is the most generous and info-packed of the zines."〔 〕 Subsequently, eight issues were published over a 16-month period, ending in February 1991. An odd issue, titled ''Bad Poetry'' Issue #5½, resulted from the use of overlarge newsprint paper. The editors also organized ''Homocore'' events in which bands such as Fugazi, MDC, Beat Happening and Comrades In Arms appeared. The 1991 short film ''Shred Of Sex'' by Greta Snider was made at ''Homocore'' headquarters. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Homocore (zine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
