Another 10 queer punks
1. Gina Schock(on the right, Joan Jett is on the left): lesbian
Gina Schock is the drummer for the Go-Gos and prior to that she was the drummer for “Edie and the eggs” (which was fronted by Edith Massey who was most know for being in John Waters movies).
2. Kristian Hoffman(In the middle between David johansen and Jonathan Richman): gay
Kristian Hoffman was the keyboardist and song-writer for “The Mumps” and also played with “The Contortions” and Lydia Lunch. He was in the 1971 documentary tv series “An American Family” because he was Lance Loud’s (who was the singer of “The Mumps”) best friend.
3. Snuky Tate: gay
Snuky Tate was involved in the San Francisco punk scene and was in a band called “The Alterboys”. Though he recorded a single called “who cares?” that was not with “the Alterboys”. He died in 1998.
4. Cherry vanilla: unknown
Cherry Vanilla is a singer-songwriter and actress. She worked with and dated David Bowie. Too my knowledge she has never specifically stated her sexuality though her keyboardist Zecca Esquibel said “Well, Cherry's act was always a very sexual act. She's gorgeous woman, and known for her sexploits, so it was very easy for her to put into her show an occasional song about her attraction to women. Basically she's heterosexual, but she's had many…ah, I won't say many, I won't put words in her mouth. Cherry had had lesbian experiences with other women and was attracted to women, and occasionally she would sing about it, and ended up with one song on each album. "Foxy Bitch," which was, is about Linda Ronstadt, and "Amanda," on the second album. I can't claim that it's a reference to Amanda Lear, but I think it is, who is the famous sex change that appeared in a lot of Bowie's work.” So I’m not sure exactly how she identifies but it seems as though she’s not 100% straight.
5. Eric Emerson: Bisexual
Eric Emerson was a Warhol actor originally and then was in early glam punk band “The Magic Tramps”. Emerson was openly bisexual. At some point (probably in the 60’s) his father accused him of being “a little sweet” and Eric Emerson’s response to the statement was "What he don't understand is that my generation can swing both ways". He died in 1975 a month before his 30th birthday. The official cause of death was a hit and run though it is more likely he died from a heroin overdose in a different location and then placed on the side of the road.
6. Marie France: trans woman
Marie France is a French singer and actress who was somewhat involved with punk in the 70s, putting out a punk style single “Daisy / Déréglée” in 1977. She was involved with FHAR, Front homosexuel d'action révolutionnaire which in English is Homosexual Front of Revolutionary Action. She was involved in a group called “The Gazolines” and was on the cover of a single by punk band “Gazoline” which was named after the group she was in.
7. Alice Bag: Bisexual
Alice Bag was the singer for the L.A punk band “The Bags”. She has said that David Bowie was was a big influence on her and how she found out that bisexuality was an option “When you’re in your early teens you’re starting to explore sexual feelings. At that point, I thought you either had to be straight or be gay. I didn’t know that you could be bisexual. But when David Bowie talked about it, all of a sudden I thought, That’s how I feel and that’s OK. He’s David Bowie and he’s giving me permission. It was very powerful.”
8. Vaginal Davis(the one in the front) : genderqueer and intersex
Vaginal Davis’s name is a homage to Angela Davis, considering Angela Davis to be one of her biggest inspirations. Vaginal Davis was in multiple bands such as “The Afro Sisters” and “¡Cholita! The Female Menudo” which Alice bag was also a member of. She also helped form the Queercore punk movement of the 80’s and made the zine “Fertile LaToyah Jackson” which was published from 1982 to 1991.
9. Phranc: lesbian
Phranc was in the L.A punk band “Nervous Gender” she was also in the bands “Catholic Discipline” and “Castration Squad”. Around the 80’s she moved away from punk and into folk music, calling herself the “All-American Jewish Lesbian Folksinger".
10. Tom Robinson: bisexual
Tom Robinson was in “The Tom Robinson Band” which was a political band that had many LGBT related songs. For a long time he identified as gay though in 1982 he met Sue Brearley and he would eventually marry her, though he would still identify as gay. In the 90’s he stated "I have much more sympathy with bisexuals now, but I am absolutely not one." Though he now does consider himself bisexual.

INSIDE CHRIS STEIN’S PUNK PHOTO DIARY
Miss Rosen for Feature Shoot
Brooklyn’s own Chris Stein took up photography in 1968, at the age of 18, and began to amass a body of work documenting New York life as the punk scene came into existence. In 1973, he met and began working with Debbie Harry, and together they founded Blondie. From this rarified position, Stein had the best view in the house, the consummate insider in the quintessential outsider scene.
His new book, Point of View: Me, New York City, and the Punk Scene (Rizzoli New York), is a visual diary of daily life during the 1970s, the rawest decade of them all. Stein takes us all the way back to his days as a student at SVA, and gives us a guided tour of a young artist coming of age in a city that was equal parts decadent and derelict, and home to characters like none before or since, be it William Burroughs, David Bowie, Divine, Andy Warhol, or the Ramones.
Much like the people who have departed the earth, Point of View is filled with iconic landmarks of the city that have since disappeared like the Fillmore East, the Women’s House of Detention, Times Square strip clubs, graffiti-covered trains, abandoned cars on the street, and the World Trade Center. They say you can’t go home again, so what’s a True Yorker to do?
Put it down in photographs and stories, so we can always remember the way we were, word to Babs. We have assembled here some of Stein’s choice photographs and stories from the book for a trip back to a time not so long ago that is so very far away.

EPISODE 095: Leaving? Evangelicalism: Kyle Reynolds
If you’re wondering if I have any Christian friends left, yes I do. Kyle is one of them. You may remember Kyle from the REJECTED EPISODE. You know, the episode that was too far for the "Christian Organization" to put out. Kyle is on the show this time as my guest.
As I continue the journey of deconstruction of faith, I no longer call myself a Christian. As Kyle has, he no longer calls himself an Evangelical. In this episode, we talk about this as well as engaging into the inadequacy of defining truth, embracing other religions, and theological differences we hold.
