Future LGBTQ History Month: Lynn Gunn's Important Place in Punk and Pop

Fuse is celebrating Pride Month by looking at a variety of rising forces who are creating Future LGBTQ History before our eyes. Today we're talking about Lyndsey Gunnulfsen, a.k.a. Lynn Gunn the badass frontwoman of PVRIS who is not only making a major stamp on the rock and post-hardcore scene, but also as a role model that the 23-year-old never had growing up.

As a woman, Gunn is already somewhat of anomaly in the hardcore world she and her PVRIS band mates have been slowly taking over with their upcoming sophomore album All We Know of Heaven, All We Need of Hell likely to make a major mainstream splash when it drops in August. But as a queer woman, the singer is becoming a rare example of a gay person in music for fans and others to relate to and share their stories with—something Gunn never had growing up. That importance isn't lost on the rising star as she told Fuse, "I've definitely noticed a lot of people have been opening up to me about their own sexualities which is awesome because I never really had anyone to look up to when I was younger."
