About

What HOMO Is

HOMO is about intelligent and radical inquiry into living as a pervy homosexual today. We admire brains, brawn, and guts. We tend toward dissent, provocation, revolt, and secession from mainstream fag life.

Our inspiration is drawn from the aesthetics, politics, and ideas manifest in the Castro and the Village in the mid-1970s — a time when gay culture was raw, unapologetic, and fiercely self-defined.

"We wish HOMO to be the visual memoir of a generation that refuses to be sanitized — a digital bathroom stall for sex, graffiti, and intelligence."

A Lineage of Outsiders

On a deeper and more perennial level, we claim a lineage from those who came before — writers, artists, filmmakers, and provocateurs who carved space for queer desire and dissent:

  • Whitman
  • Gide
  • Auden
  • Genet
  • Pasolini
  • Ginsberg
  • Warhol
  • Fassbinder
  • Gunn
  • Mapplethorpe
  • Waters
  • White
  • Wojnarowicz
  • Cooper

The Visual Memoir

HOMO curates vintage, hairy, pervy, experimental, and provocative imagery. Most images are discovered on the Internet; we lay no claim unless indicated otherwise. Images not claimed by HOMO fall under Creative Commons License.
