BREEDLOVE’S WAR

Since Tribe 8 burst onto the San Francisco music scene in 1990 and helped introduce queercore and dyke punk to the world, dildo-wielding lead singer Lynn Breedlove has been a badass. But he is also an award-winning author, performer, entrepreneur, and activist. Breedlove’s 2002’s novel Godspeed introduced a meth-using bike messenger protagonist (based in part on himself). It garnered a cult following and when the writer-performer’s solo comedy show, Lynnee Breedlove’s One Freak, was turned into a book, it won a 2010 Lambda Literary Award.
