I took my daughter and her friends for her 14th birthday. It's a rite of passage.

I still haven't been to a midnight showing, but my introduction to that kind of queerness was Hedwig and the Angry Inch. Haven't been the same since.

For context, about shepardsville, I went there for a conference once and was told by a man at the Denny’s that it was where men were men and sheep were scared.

This was truly moving, beautiful. Thank you for sharing, if it were not for the"Rocky weirdos" I would have never found myself. Now our 25 year old daughter is carrying on and is in O'Brien's Orchestra shadow cast in Austin. Forever and always, Don't dream it, be it. 💋💀🖤

This story should be in textbooks. It’s as important as any gospel. You are loved for who you are.
