Everything that I have learned about being a person — about healing, tenacity, curiosity and love — have come to me through queerness.
I’ve been thinking about this in light of comments I received this week from folks who say they disagree(?) with my “queer art” but love the “rest of it.” This simply means they’ve missed the point of all of it.
I can’t separate out what art is queer from what isn’t, just as I can’t parse what in me is queer and what isn’t. Every piece I make is an expression of a queer person dreaming of a world where everyone has learned the kind of self-love and community care that queer and trans people know and are committed to creating.
