As many of you already know, we have a new music video coming out June 10th, but in the meantime, an artist named Dandy Jon has created a series of drawings inspired by the old A cappella spiritual cover I released on my last record and he has turned those drawings into a video, which we just released.

Behold: “Nobody Knows The Trouble I’ve Seen”

To look at all of the drawings used in the video, click HERE.

Now that marriage is won in Oregon, I am really excited for the LGBTQ community (and our allies) to get back to the still very pressing work of making schools safer, ending workplace discrimination, bringing cultural competency to systems which oppress us, building bridges with communities of faith who oppose us, pushing trans rights to the forefront of our agenda, and making sure our growing senior population is honored and celebrated, having paved the way for all of these modern victories so many years ago.

Celebrate tonight, friends — because tomorrow the work continues.
