I wrote this jaunty little showtune in response to the tidal wave of anti-gay and anti-trans sentiment and legislation sweeping the country. I'm a straight cis-gender gal, but just because all that hate, ignorance, and ungrounded fear isn't aimed at me specifically doesn't mean it's not complete, utter, ridiculous, dangerous BS that keeps me up at night. It endangers so very many people I know, love, and admire. And we all know that it's a slippery slope when people try to normalize the demonization of their peers and try to strip their rights away. Rights are rights, y'all, and humans are humans, and you can FIGHT ME if you think you have an argument that holds water better than that.
I feel fortunate to be at a place in my career, life, and sense of self that I can use the tools I have - in this case: musical performance, comedy, words, great colleagues, sequins, wigs, and a glitterball toy piano - to call out BS when I see it.
