I have found that I'm just political just by being who I am.

I stand before you a totally healthy person.

I could have been you, you could have been me. One small change that shapes your destiny.

Don't let people who live in fear and hate govern how you live.

When I grew up, there were no songs about gay people.

I'm so close to Heaven, this Hell cannot be mine.

I am a songwriter. I do get to put my personal experiences in song.
