From a July, 1993 interview with Nirvana and interviewer, Gavin Edwards, in Seattle, Washington: “Kurt Cobain answers his front door wearing a black cotton dress with a large white pinafore collar and cuffs. He’s sporting thermal leggings, bright red fingernails, and a sly grin. “Can you zip me up?” Kurt asks.“

Cobain found out that at concerts, some of his fans spread anti-gay messages in tune to his music. Disgusted, on Nirvana’s next release, “Incesticide,” Cobain demanded that he write a message back to those “fans” in the liner notes, stating, “If any of you, in any way, hate homosexuals, people of a different color or women, please do this one favor for us—leave us the fuck alone. Don’t come to our shows and don’t buy our records.” He wrote similar sentiments in the liner notes for Nirvana’s last studio release, “In Utero”: “If you’re a sexist, racist, homophobe or basically an asshole, don’t buy this CD. I don’t care if you like me, I hate you.”
