First promo press photos of The Sex Pistols, shot back in 1976 by freelance photographer Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson (later on founding member of art-terrorist post-punk bands Throbbing Gristle, Psychic TV & Coil) but never used, since Malcolm McLaren found them too gay for his newly founded punk band.

“...Cristopherson, whose early work, by his own description, was “of white trash kids, a bit like Larry Clark’s work” was contracted in the summer of 1975 by McLaren to photograph The Sex Pistols. This was a time when McLaren and his partner, Vivienne Westwood, ran a shop called SEX on King’s Road in London, that featured men’s and women’s street fashions inspired by S-M, gay porn, and various fetishes, like bondage trousers, that were both intentionally shocking and knowingly Warholian.

But wearing the iconography or style of the homosexual -such as the gay cowboy T-shirts the Pistols would sometimes sport in concerts- was apparently not the same thing as subjecting oneself to the stigma of being perceived as homosexual, or being willingly identidied as “gay for pay”.

When Christoferson posed the Pistols to resemble rent boys in a YMCA toilet, Mclaren was apparently shocked and threatened by the explicitly homoerotic images and he turned down the pictures. The photos nevertheless reside as one archival switch point between the queer and punk seventies...”

The Routledge Queer Studies Reader

McLaren being shocked and threatened by imagery? Now, that was a first for him, so we can definitely declare Christopherson the only man who beat McLaren at his own game.
