Hello mister government sir I am Queer and proud and I am not afraid.
This bootlicker scare tactic shit didn’t work on me as a Gay child growing up in the 1980s; it didn’t work on me as a street kid watching my community die around me in the 1990s; it didn’t do anything but radicalize me in the 2000s; and it sure as hell isn’t going to work on me or any of my friends and family now, a quarter of a century later.
I am exhausted but you will have to kill me to ever shut me up. And I promise you, then the Queer and Trans voices will just get louder. There is simply no closet big enough. You cannot kill us all. There have always been LGBTQ+ people and there ALWAYS will be.
And to my sweet community, I see you. I am here with you and I’m so sorry this is still happening. I will always fight for you. For us. For our love. ❤️ Read the rest of this entry »

Yesterday actor/musician Daniel Franzese (Mean Girls, Bully, HBO’s Looking) and writer/director/actor Adrian Anchondo (of Beyonce spoof fame) released their genius new parody video, Please Go Home — a hysterical spin on Sam Smith‘s hit single from earlier this year, Stay With Me.
The video has been making the rounds in all corners of the internet since then, and it’s no wonder. The parody is jam-packed full of comedic handsomeness, legitimate musical chops, and is a virtual who’s who of San Francisco queer life.
(Sorry, I just had to get that out of my system.)
I caught up with Daniel and Adrian for Queer Voices just hours after the video release to chat about gay love, this collaboration, their upcoming projects and more.
Watch Please Go Home, then read our chat below:

Hey boys. Thanks for chatting with me today on release day for your new video collaboration. It’s hilarious. How did the idea for this parody come about?
