When you're a queer person put in the spotlight, you're supposed to have all the answers.

If you listen to PWR BTTM, or to Gloss, If you look at me on stage, it can make you feel less alone. It makes you feel like you're a queer person and you have this singular power, but it's not like we're a brand. We're just real.

What we do is provide a suggestion. We say, 'We're queer. We're going to do this; we're going to open up the space to queer thought.' People don't have to show up, but they do.

Queer is invincible because people have tried everything - haven't they? What haven't they tried to do to queer people? And horrible things happened. But you never stop, because it's the truth of who you are.

I think the earnestness of what we're saying and what other bands like us are totally saying - or other queer bands - is 'We exist.'

The most radical thing about our lives is getting to be in a visibly filled-out queer crowd every night.
