The queereads chosen tome of April is "Deflowered: My Life in Pansy Division" by the band's founding member, Jon Ginoli. Pansy Division was the first out and proud queercore punk rock band to hit the semi-big time. The memoir follows the journey from their inception in San Francisco, to their search for a music label and a permanent drummer, to their current status as indie rock icons. They toured with Green Day and faced homophobic fans during their search for acceptance in the music world. This memoir is an impassioned account of staying true to the artistic vision of queer rock'n'roll.
