"[We were] doing ‘queer’ work before there was that word, and something different was happening.  I think there was a real sense that we were a counter-culture.  We were still running on the fumes of the ’60s and ’70s.  I mean, Peggy Shaw used to make these signs that said, ‘U.S. out of Manhattan.’  There was maybe a sense that we were gonna build this world that was different, and the bigger world was going to come to us.  Ha ha ha.”
