pansexualpride: Justin Bond Queer performer Justin Bond was born in Hagerstown, MD — proof that not all gender heroes start off in the big city. In the 1990s, he teamed up with piano player Kenny Mellman to create the duo Kiki & Herb, where Bond played a has-been chanteuse who always had faux diamond tears in her eyes. Kiki’s vocal prowess allowed her to sing both extremely well and extremely badly, sometimes during the course of the same song. Justin Bond uses male pronouns, but he’s been photographed as a man, a woman, an androgyne, a forest nymph, and jamming with Rufus Wainwright and Yoko Ono. He and Tilda Swinton are BFFs. In 2008, Bond killed off Kiki. But even when you’ve taken the alcoholic chanteuse out of the performer, you can’t take the queer activism out of his performance. Bond has written a scathing reaction to legislation banning gay marriage, played the Mistress of the Sex Not Bombs Room in the movie Shortbus, and a letter to his 16-year-old queer self. Bond blogs at Justin Bond Is Living and tweets at mxjustinbond. via: genderfork
