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.
When I do solo stuff, when I do anything involving music, it's very collaborative.
I'm not really thinking about what I'm talking about or what I'm willing to achieve. I'm just kind of letting it come out, recording it.
I do think within any job you do, you have a chance to serve the community.
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.
I think art is definitely a great thing, and looked at as a way to open people up.
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.
My personal feeling is that people need to be careful not to start over-analyzing and taking things apart and trying to be critical.
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.
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.
Maybe our gender is one thing and our sexuality is another. And that's a cool thing I think.
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.
Your perspective probably depends on where you live.
