ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the latter, exploring the dangerous sexual representations present within the pages of piloting queercore zine J. D.s, and in the subsequent solo work of its creators: Bruce LaBruce and G. B. Jones. J. D.s is noteworthy for instigating a seditious punk-porn esthetic that has come to be associated with queercore. Among other things, this esthetic engages some of the ideological sticking points of queer sexuality, and especially those related to gay men's misogynist and fascist propensities. J. D.s' provocative aesthetic has carried over into LaBruce's post-J. D.s career as a controversial art-house porn filmmaker, and Jones' post-J. D.s calling as a filmmaker and visual artist who approaches the problematics of queer punk sex from a decidedly feminist point of view. Before the analysis of J. D.s and its creators, however, the chapter provides context for this work via a discussion of the historical intersections between sex and rebellion within punk and queer culture more broadly.
