"In every era of U.S. history, queer folks carved out their spaces despite criminalization, discrimination, and violence. We must have faith that we can do it again now." The inimitable @raquelwillis.com's words to trans youth in @teenvogue.bsky.social

This song was commissioned for Columbus Gay Men's Chorus and I was so proud to perform it with them last year at a festival full of other queer choruses who are now adding it to their performances. Check out the Portland Lesbian Choir’s gorgeous rendition! 🥰

I know I’m kind of Going Through A Lot right now because I’m crying about a post a friend made about house plants. 😭🪴

“I am trying
to sell them the world. Any decent realtor,
walking you through a real shithole, chirps on
about good bones: This place could be beautiful,
right? You could make this place beautiful.”

This was my favorite piece I’ve ever gotten to sing with Columbus Gay Men’s Chorus. I cried every time. Performing it at GALA Festival in the summer and then hearing how many choruses are wanting to perform it themselves now was so cool. I hope my trans pals hear this and feel strengthened by it. 🏳️‍⚧️
“Look at the family I have made, I’m stronger / When we’re marching hand in hand it’s a love that they can never ban and never sever. ‘Cause if we’re banned we’ll be banned together.”
