The
theme of Coming Out Day this year is "Being Out Rocks." In
conjuction with this the Editor of Outsmart Magazine asked me to write
an article about queer music that rocks. Well, the writing of the article
inspired me to put together a special edition of QMH, to showcase the
music featured in the article.
