Homocore (zine)

Homocore was an American anarcho-punk zine created by Tom Jennings and Deke Nihilson, and published in San Francisco from 1988 to 1991.

Tom Jennings borrowed the word 'homocore' after he and co-editor Deke Nihilson met Jones and LaBruce at the 1988 Anarchist Survival Gathering in Toronto.

Although their initial audience was the queer underground within the San Francisco area, letters published in later issues came from readers around the world.

In the book DIY: The Rise of Lo-Fi Culture, Amy Spencer stated that "zines acknowledged that their origins stemmed directly from the existence of J.D.s and Homocore.

"[1] Spencer further wrote that Homocore and similar zines became "required reading material" for those disillusioned by other more mainstream gay choices.
