}}Brontez Purnell is an Oakland-based writer, musician, dancer,[1] and director.[2] He is the author of the books The Cruising Diaries (2014), Johnny Would You Love Me If My Dick Were Bigger (2015), and Since I Laid My Burden Down (2017)[3] and the zine Fag School;[4] frontman for the punk band The Younger Lovers;[3] and founder of the Brontez Purnell Dance Company.[5]

Biography

Purnell grew up in Triana, Alabama[5] where he created his first zine, Schlepp Fanzine,[6] when he was fourteen years old.[2] After moving to Oakland at 19,[7] he created Fag School[6] out of "wanting there to be a Sassy for gay boys."[4] "I hadn't really seen a zine or at least a personal gay zine that dealt with the difficult subject of gay sex with both humor and frank talk. It covered some real issues."[6]

His electro rock band Gravy Train!!!! gained national prominence for their live shows.[8] His punk band The Younger Lovers started in 2003 as a bedroom demo project.[9]

Awards

In 2018, Purnell was awarded a Whiting Award for fiction.[10]

Focus

Much of his work focuses on sex and sexuality. "In my work I try to use 'sex' or the body as this thing that does not create boundaries or separation with an audience, but instead gives my audience back their humanity."[11] He is openly gay.[4]
