More visibility is more power, but more vulnerability.

Learning that someone is gay, queer, trans, doesn't tell you much by itself. They could be any kind of person aside from that particular slice of identity.

Some part of me hopes for a guardian angel to protect me and other people who need protection.

My bassist Jorgen Jorgensen opened up my life to a lot of great, obscure old soul records.

Just being gender non-conforming opens you to trouble from strangers. And violence.

I'm a shy person whose very presence has become a confrontation. I think that's true of a lot of queer people.

I really don't care about what anyone says unless they are also gender-nonconforming. Then I really listen. I love the solidarity felt between us gender failures.

I believe an authentic Judaism would legislate total equality for queer people.

I take it hard whenever anything happens that makes, I guess, queer people feel less safe and less welcome in the world.
