Founded by guitarist/singer Jon Ginoli and soon joined by bassist/vocalist Chris Freeman, with the intent of forming a gay rock band, Pansy Division blew the closet doors open.Raised on a diet of 60s pop and 70s punk, their sound was suitably crunchy and catchy as hell. They wrote in-your-face lyrics, but did it with a sense of humor. Not only did their music and stance defy stereotypical norms of rock musicians being openly gay, they also broke gay cultural stereotypes that rock wouldnt interest gay people. With album titles like Undressed and Deflowered, and song titles like Bill s Homosexual Adventure, their bluntness and humor stood out amidst the 90s alterna-rock scene. Says Chris Freeman, there was a lot of gay culture we couldnt relate to, so we tried to invent a place for ourselves in it, an alternative for other queer misfits.Having had the experience of being ostracized by other musicians for being gay and by other gays for being into rock, we tried to turn our alienation into something positive, says Ginoli. Instead of being depressed about it, we tried to make music that would make usand our audiencehappy. We could laugh about it, so we put that joy into the music.
