But it's everywhere, but it's being discussed.

It's being explored.

It's being used poetically.

Sexuality in the most pure, beautiful, glorious way through the life of a 20-year-old, 22-year-old, 23-year-old going and out loud figuring it out.

And then...

Immediately, before even a single comes out, the labeling and the kind of like, well, announce it.

What club are you in?

What are you part of?

You are this, you are that.

Why aren't you this?

You know, like all these things.

And it just like...

It was funny because it became something else.

And instead of being discussed in this way through performance and through music, it suddenly became just about satisfying the media more than anything.

And thank God we've moved on.

Thank God, yeah.

I was never embarrassed about my sexuality.

I was sneaking out at the age of 15, come back at like four in the morning from the Astoria,

It was the best nights.

If you want to know why my gigs have that euphoria kind of feeling to them, I learned that at 14, 15 years old at the Astoria, at GAY.
