Something everyone can think about as we head into Pride Sunday: Silence = Death …a phrase that has followed me through most of my 52 years, and that still has a place in our lives today. Think back to the Holocaust, the Compton’s Cafeteria Riot, the Stonewall Riots, and the long dark years of the AIDS crisis. It’s been a very long and difficult road…and we’re nowhere near done yet; however, we do have stars that have lit the way and shown each one of us what power we possess… Marsha P. Johnson Stormé DeLarverie Sir Lady Java Miss Major Griffin-Gracy Susan Stryker Felicia Elizondo Tamara Ching …history is FULL of examples, but today I say your names. I am so grateful that my big sisters found the courage to fight for me.

Now is OUR time. What legacy are we going to leave? #actup #pridewasariot #silenceequalsdeath #translivesmatter #blacklivesmatter (at San Francisco, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CB9fjzmj3sB/?igshid=1zfp1tt33jas

As we head into Pride Month, I just thought I’d repost this—my feelings haven’t changed, and this is even more relevant today than when I first posted it.

On the road with my little birthday boy. (We’re fleeing the construction going on in the loft right now.) Georgie turned 2 on the 26th.

Don't sabotage your identity trying to name it. Let it be undefined, permeable, mixed, peculiar, unapologetically authentic. Be in peace with being unprecedented, with not fitting anywhere, with being adrift. Before flight, there's a free fall.

"The man who accepts Western values absolutely, finds his creative faculties becoming so warped and stunted that he is almost completely dependent on external satisfactions, and the moment he becomes frustrated in his search for these, he begins to develop neurotic symptoms, to feel that life is not worth living, and, in chronic cases, to take his own life."

-The Great Paul Robeson
