Pocan is openly gay. He credits his political activism in part to an incident soon after he graduated from college and opened his printing business, when two men followed him after he left a gay bar and beat him with a baseball bat while they called him “faggot” and other slurs. This gaybashing incident spurred him to become active in the Madison LGBT community. Pocan was the only openly gay member of the state Assembly after Tammy Baldwin’s election to Congress, and one of three LGBT members of the 100th Wisconsin Legislature, alongside Sen. Tim Carpenter (D–Milwaukee) and bisexual Rep. JoCasta Zamarripa (D–Milwaukee).
