“When you’re straight, you don’t have to walk around with pointy boots and tight pants and a Prada purse. You don’t have to embody all the Laguna Beach characteristics of hetero culture to be straight. You just get to be straight. I’m just gay. I don’t have to have a shaved head and a fucking armband tattoo and sit and listen to Ani DiFranco to be gay. I am all those things whether or not I’m representing them physically. I’m absolutely excited about leading another generation into the frays of pushing mainstream culture into accepting gay music and gay artists and recognizing that we are equal and the same.”
