Background
Bad Name was born of the anger, shame, and discomfort that members of marginal groups feel at those among them who they feel give their group a bad name. Over-the-top gay men, militant lesbians, in-your-face sadomasochists, black comedians who parrot stereotypes for cheap laughs. All of them provide good feeding for Bad Name.
