I EDITOR'S NOTE
l

This friends. neighbors, and fellow queers

is the one year anniversary of the birth of Queer
Fuckers Magazine. When Devin and I stayed up
I all night, with only a break to attend a rather
interesting hot tub party. slaving over a hot xerox
machine at my Dad's office, one year ago I never
thought our little zine would become as personal
and important to me as it now is. Many of you out
there. especially in Utah, hate it. You think we are
subversive, radical, disgusting, tasteless, obscene
and contrary to your boring assimilationist ap-
proach to gay politics, and culture. I hope we never
fail to groos you out. On the other hand many of
you out there realize that our Queer community
has many voices to celebrate, that radicalism is an
important facet of the culture and movement
(without us the Gay and Lesbian Democrats, or
god forbid, the Court might be considered radicals)
and that Queer Fuckers Magazine is not intended
to represent all Queers or even be read by people
outside our &community.· I hope we never fail to
delight and entertain you.
This Issue, #4 In a hopefully continuing
series, is being released for pubic consumption on
Utah's Lesbian and Gay Pride Day 1992. This
year's theme is Pride=Power. I truly hope that
some of you out there will take this theme. and
· make itpartofyourlife. Too many of you outthere
think that pride is a thing you reluctantly drag out
of the moth balls once a year, take to a part in the
relative safety of the thousand or so others there,
and immediately shut up in a hiding place for
another year after the party is over.
Wake up! Pride is something for every
day of the year. Power, Queer Power, Gay Power,
Lesbian Power, Dyke Power, Fag Power; which-
ever you prefer, or want, is ours through pride and
constant diligence. So buy that T-shirt and wear it
once or twice_a month, and mean it. It's really not
that hard, In fact it's quite exciting.
So enjoy or be infuriated, as you wish, by
the ensuing pages. Hell, write me and tell me what
an asshole you think I am if you hate it and send
money for a subscription if you like itl But at least
read the damn thing.

It all began quietly enough. A meeting
tcalled by Queers intrested in promoting Queer
visibility on campus, met and discussed possible
actions and names. Wori(ing as The Fist o
i Madonna we decided to reprint the Red Hot and
Blue Safe Sex Posters we had picked up at pride
day and hang them around campus. No big deal.
Three months later and with a new name.
~ Faggotassqueeralesbo (re-claimed from

move on to our next action. Little did we know that
millions of people would see our poster before ·
was all over.
Seems some self appointed morality po--
lice goons went around and pulled down our post-
ers. Peter, lovely and talented Queer about cam-
pus. complained the next day in his classes and
got the wheels churning in the mind of a classmate.
Meanwhile back at Queer Central, Queer Studies
Guru Henry Abelove printed a plea to his fellow
faculty to proudly post the image on their office

wrote a sympathetic letter to the editor and the
chronicle decided to write a story on the action.

some 18,000 students saw the poster and we
