Zach from Rivethead[edit]

I heard that Zach from the minneapolis pop punk (now-defunct) band Rivethead is now playing with The Queers. Can anyone else substantiate that? Xsxex 14:17, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not homophobic[edit]

I took out the reference to The Queers being homophobic. The last paragraph of the liner notes for the album "A Day Late and A Dollar Short" say "Having a song called "I want cunt" doesn't mean we're sexist, homophobic, racist assholes.". Unless someone can show otherwise they shouldn't be labeled homophobic. Eod punk 22:58, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The song "Homo" is actually gay-positive. Plus, they're on Asian Man Records, who only sign bands who are anti-racist, anti-sexist and anti-prejudice. Don't take any song the Queers write too seriously. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.190.209.142 (talk) 10:55, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

External link suggestion: New interview with Joe Queer[edit]

As an editor at Crawdaddy!, and to comply with COI guidelines, I am not posting the link to this new interview with Joe King (aka Joe Queer) of the Queers. However, I would like to recommend it on its merits, and hope that an editor will find the time to examine the interview and—if he or she sees fit—post it to the external links section. In the interview, Joe discusses the band's history as well as his more recent activities as a producer. I appreciate your time. Crawdaddy! [1]

Controversy[edit]

Is it really relevant to have the entire controversy section devoted to one specific band member, rather than the band as a whole? It seems like it would be more appropriate on a page about Joe Queer rather than the entire band. Or maybe more condensed? The entire Controversy section is literally larger than the rest of the article, excluding lists of former band members and discography. As a snide side note, I do think it's funny that articles like this have such a robust Controversy section (especially comparatively to the article as a whole) whereas notable and popular controversial anti-Semitic figures, like Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, do not. Subpar and loose standards like this are why I do not financially support wikipedia. 98.117.86.164 (talk) 13:20, 13 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
