Queer Culture Club Quarterly
A publication showcasing the Queer Experience through art, interviews, history, and more.
QCCQ
Hello fellow queers,
We have a lot of information about some queer people because of their interactions with straight society via the legal system, network media, arts and sciences, etc. However, there are actually a whole lot more of us. We just don’t make the news. The news is worth keeping, but it will never be the whole story.
That’s where we come in.
We accept short (2-3pg) written submissions or 1-5 artworks/photos.
QCCQ2: GRAVE GOODS
In ancient times, people were buried with things like jewelry, food, and other goods. What would you want put into your tomb?
[beads, coins, poppers, testosterone, estradiol, a hitachi, photos, rainbow flag]
Would you go Pharoah style?
[img of king tut]
Or keep it simple, like a bog body, tattoos preserved?
Or maybe something like this guy:
[img of Grover Krants’ skeleton articulated playing with his huge dog]
Send in.

Further questions, prompts, and ideas from the editor
What will we keep with us when we die? What is crucial to our being? What will we be buried with? What about you?
Who will bury us well? It seems clear that our best hope is each other. Let us dream together of a deep, unrecorded past, before the deep wounds of colonialism. The instance of grave goods is extremely ancient, and there is much we do not know. The most ancient archaeological findings are no more than bones surrounded by things like jewelry, trade goods, musical instruments, tools. Of course, it got complicated fast. Take King Tut (featured above): famous not only for his splendid tomb, but for the fact that nobody had ever managed to rob it. Even today, many people choose to be buried with the ashes of a beloved pet or, like Frank Sinatra, with a pack of cigarettes and a lighter. There are much wilder choices out there if you care to look.
It is also important to know that King Tut’s tomb told the story of his life, written on the walls. What would you want on yours?
