gay who-i-am levels
The only thing I have going on at a personal level is just the way I knew I was gay and I knew what that meant inside me, but the gender aspect of who I am came later.
fall hard-work gay
I feel like there are a lot of people doing a lot of hard work. I think it's too early to judge, and I don't think the gay community is in any way falling short.
teacher kids gay
If you're a teacher, for instance, there are ways to have positive representation of gay people in the classroom. Making sure that, historically, people are noted and archived, and that kids are getting just positive images of people who are gay.
gay vocabulary people
People that are much younger in areas that are much more, kind of, disenfranchised, I guess, as far as the gay movement goes, they still have a language that they've discovered around things. And they have a vocabulary to use, and they have a way to express themselves even when they're not accepted.
extremely operate political politics queer
I think our politics are extremely punk. The world that we operate in is still unfortunately more corporate. We can be queer and political but we're still part of the system.
nice planning
We did some planning with them. It was nice to get involved.
song moving book
If some event happens and it seems really important to me and moving to me, I'll write it down in my lyric book knowing that it will come out in a song.
thinking sexuality gender
Maybe our gender is one thing and our sexuality is another. And that's a cool thing I think.
self people be-who-you-are
You can spend time self-identifying and figuring out what you are on that, but at some point, you just want to be who you are and not walk around telling people.
starting-over people feelings
My personal feeling is that people need to be careful not to start over-analyzing and taking things apart and trying to be critical.
reality band folks
But the reality is that we are a folk band.
song want soil
ahhhh...organic and rich like good soil... makes me want to listen and hear it grow. the songs are honest and dimensional. it's music to my ears.
jobs thinking community
I do think within any job you do, you have a chance to serve the community.
stupid silly people
You just have to let yourself go and not be worried about what other people are going to say or the things that might come out...Just jump right in full force and be as silly and stupid and adolescent and introspective as you want to be.
