Kay Turner is a lesbian-feminist-queer-performer-professor-singer living in Brooklyn and Austin, TX. In 1985, with Gretchen Phillips, she founded Girls in the Nose (GITN), the lesbian rock punk band that anticipated riot girl raunch with songs such as Sodomy and Come and Die, producing two albums in 1989 and 1991. The band hosted the first Lesbopalooza in NYC in 1994 in conjunction with Stonewall 25. GITN reunited in  2015 to tour again and our Noses are still blowing. Turner’s other projects include Otherwise: Queer Scholarship into Song, with Viva DeConcini and Mary Feaster and a book and performance project What a Witch exploring the witch figure in history and culture.
