PANSY DIVISION biography

Pansy Division is a gay pop-punk formed in San Francisco in 1991.​ There have been gay musicians throughout rock music history, but when Pansy Division began they were one of the first to be so boldly open about it. Founded by guitarist/singer Jon Ginoli and bassist/vocalist Chris Freeman, with the intent of forming a gay rock band, ​and joined later by drummer Luis Illades and guitarist Joel Reader,​ Pansy Division blew the closet doors open.
