Bruce LaBruce

About

Bruce LaBruce is a writer, film-maker, and photographer stuck in the gulag otherwise known as Toronto, Canada. He started out as a child, then quickly moved on to the production of homo punk fanzines (J.D.s [with G.B. Jones], Dumb Bitch Deserves To Die [with Candy Parker]) and super 8 movies (Boy/Girl, I Know What It's Like To Be Dead, Bruce and Pepper Wayne Gacy's Home Movies [with Candy Parker], Slam!). These products helped to launch the so-called Homocore or Queercore movement, which corrupted a whole new generation of homosexuals.

In 1998, LaBruce expanded into several new areas - as a photographer and columnist for such magazines as Honcho and Inches, and as a photographer, writer, and interviewer for New York's Index Magazine, to which he was recently named a contributing editor. For many years LaBruce wrote regular columns for Toronto's Eye Magazine and Exclaim, an alternative music monthly. As a writer and/or photographer, LaBruce has contributed to the National Post, the UK Guardian, Vice, Dutch, Butt, Strut, Dazed and Confused, Loyal, Doingbird, The Breeder, Bon, and K48. He has also produced two books, The Reluctant Pornographer, his premature memoirs, from Gutter Press, and Ride, Queer, Ride, a survey of his work from Plug-In Books.
